Choose your ride
River Ride: 10km
A leisurely lap around the River Torrens, perfect for beginners, those getting back into cycling, and families.
The River Ride is a great way to dip your toes into cycling or those looking for a gentle leisurely ride. You'll take on only small undulating gradients and be finished between one and one and a half hours.
You'll ride mostly on shared paths with only one section of quiet on-road riding. But don't worry, riding in a group on the road is much safer than riding alone. Our experienced ride marshals will direct you every step of the ride and help out if you get stuck.
Beach Ride: 40km
Step it up with a 40km ride down to Port Adelaide, along the coastline to Henley Beach and back via the River Torrens Linear Park. This ride is great for those building confidence and interested in trying a longer ride using bicycle lanes in a supported environment.
The ride will take two to three hours and you'll ride on a mixture of cycling paths and on-road bicycle lanes. Two rest stops are provided for you to catch your breath and refuel along the way. Our experienced ride marshals will direct you every step of the ride and help out if you get stuck.
Harbour Ride: 55km
