BOEKEMAN MACHINERY | CASE IH BIKE IT TO BALLIDU GRAVEL
A classic, reimagined in gravel
Bike it to Ballidu has been a beloved bike event that has welcomed everyone to the Shire of Wongan-Ballidu since 1999.
Last year we greeted gravel – it was a smash conversion with 330+ local and Statewide riders and their entourages enjoying all the picturesque shire has to offer and taking on 12km, 30km, 85km and 155km gravel routes – just two hours from Perth!
The unique blend of family-focused, novelty rides, serious grinding on some of the State’s most diverse gravel – and a buzzing event village and post-event party – saw the inaugural event become one of just three SportWest Community Sporting Event of the Year finalists!
For this year’s Boekeman Machinery | Case IH Bike it to Ballidu Gravel event we’ve acted on rider feedback to remove some boggy and thorny sections from the rides, while adding in some new segments selected from the Shire’s epic 1000km+ of gravel roads, trails and paths.
