Hi,
The Tas Bike Collective Cycle Challenge is back for 2025! After our successful event launch
last year, we are excited to again be offering a great value experience that supports the
important work the Bike Collective does. I’m reaching out as the Event Manager of the Cycle
Challenge to share our 2025 event details with you.
Some quick event details are;
Event date: Sat, April 5, 2025
Event venue: Baskerville Raceway 473 Baskerville Road, Old Beach
Event website, so you can find out more: Cycle Challenge About | Tasmanian Bike Collective
Event entry cost: $20 per person
Entries open: Now
Entries Close March 23
Event format: Riders challenge themselves to do as many laps as they can with multiple
options available to them, on tarmac, off road, on an e- bike, or pedal powered bike.
Event Manager quote “The focus of the event is fun, family friendly and is our flagship
fundraiser. People can ride by themselves, as a team. Last year we had lots of people with
families and friends just coming along to ride and raise funds for the students in our
programs by being part of the day. Last year we raised just over $14,000 and this year we are
aiming for $25,000 to help us launch our mobile work shop program so we can support
more students. The event has been designed to be accessible for all skill levels and fitness
with different course options and a no pressure format, it’s a fun challenge and not a race.
There is also the Fairbrother kids challenges for little tackers who aren’t quite ready to take
on the full Cycle Challenge. Even if you haven’t dusted off the bike for a while it’s a great way
to get back into it and Bicycle Network Tasmanian have support through their Back on Your
Bike Program”
In case you are wondering, what does the Tasmanian Bike Collective do?
The Tasmanian Bike Collective mentors and supports young people through our hands on
learning-based bicycle workshops to develop work ready skills, confidence and dealing with
life’s tougher situations. Most of the young people in the program have life challenges that
make it harder for them to stay engaged in school, our programs help them turn that around
and stay engaged with education. We run 3 workshops - Risdon Vale, Clarence Plains/Rokeby
and the Huon Valley, supporting around 90 students each week. Everything we raise goes to
running our programs here in Tasmania. Also, as part of that work we restore and sell used
bikes and recycle any that can’t be saved.
