RIDE BALLIDU YOUR WAY

Bike it to Ballidu Gravel offers riders four distances from 12km* to 161km*, so something for all kinds of bike riders, including e-bikers. Rides are full supported with motorbike marshals, medical and mechanical support, and aid stations.

Bike it to Ballidu Gravel is not an AusCycling-sanctioned race and therefore racing licenses are not required to take part – hence lower entry fees!

Choose your adventure!

Wongan Thrills (161km) | 09:00 depart

Wongan Thrills is a proper gravel workout with about 1400 metres of vertical gain that includes the pinchy Mt O’Brien climb, lakes, salt plains and gravel from fast and furious unpaved roads to fire breaks, compact clay and farmers’ tracks. 

Aid stations at 36km, 88km and 114km will provide Winners and other nutrition and hydration options, toilets and enthusiastic support from our hardy band of vollies! 

Please note the area through Wongan Hills town centre at half-distance is a non-timed neutral zone. This means you can stop and take refreshment from local vendors, without time penalty.

The minimum age for the Wongan Thrills is 18 years. Not even tough kids can apply sorry…

Watts up doc!...Semi-pro Cassia Boglio put a few into the gravelly hurt locker last year

The Ballidude (82km)  |  11:00 depart

Still a tough ride, but only about half as tough, mostly on the big Wongan Thrills loop with about 600 metres of climbing.

An aid station half way around will provide Winners nutrition, hydration and toilet services.

Only Ballidudes (and Ballidudettes!) over 18 years need apply. Sorry kids…

Riders will harvest plenty of private farmers' tracks generously made available to us for the day
