The Whittlesea Challenge is fast becoming one of Victoria’s most scenic and challenging recreational rides.

Now in its third year, the event organised by Cycle Sport Victoria with the support of the City of Whittlesea, has moved dates and will be held on Saturday 29 May. 

The Whittlesea region provides the rare opportunity to escape the traffic and enjoy quiet roads, picturesque scenery and country charm only 35 minutes from central Melbourne. 

The 110km course entails a variety of undulating terrain and breathtaking views across the Kinglake National Park, catering for cyclists of all fitness levels and pushing cyclists to their limits.

The roads surrounding Whittlesea have long been popular with cyclists of all abilities.  Australian star Cadel Evans grew up in Arthur's Creek just down the road from Whittlesea, and still rates this as one of his favourite training regions anywhere in the world.  Many other European based cyclists such as Will Walker and Darren Lapthorne are regulars in these parts when back in Australia. 

Starting and finishing at Whittlesea's Walker Reserve, cyclists will be able to prepare for the challenge ahead and sit back, relax and discuss the ride in the official event village.

Also, $10 from each entry will be donated to the ‘Big Brother Big Sister’ charity.

So get on your bike and enter today, you will not be disappointed!!!
