Gearing up for Biketober

October has arrived, and it’s time to pump up those tyres and get excited for a month filled with awesome bike ride adventures.

More than 100 people have already registered to take part in Ballarat’s Biketober, with more encouraged to join in for a ‘wheelie’ good time.

Employers across Ballarat and beyond are setting up teams for some healthy, fun competition across the city.

The competition is not about kilometres, but rather participation, so everyone can join in.

The aim of Biketober is simple – to get more people to enjoy the benefits of riding bikes.

There are many safe routes to try out in Ballarat, but if you are not sure where to start, why not try one of the Ride Ballarat loops:

  • The City Ride (5km)
  • The Lake Ride (6km)
  • The Victoria Park Loop Ride (5km)
  • The Arch of Victory Ride (2.4km)
