PREPARING TO RIDE

PACKING LIST

You can download the packing list below. Please aim to pack everything into one bag. If absolutely necessary, you may bring up to two bags, but we kindly ask that you limit it to that.

Please keep in mind that we will be transporting your baggage to different accommodations each day, and we can only carry a maximum of two bags per rider. Each of your bags will have a tag with your accommodation and contact details. This tag must remain on your bag at all times throughout the ride.

Training Tips

Ride to Give is a peloton supported ride, held on public roads. Riders will be placed into graded pelotons (groups) and be required to ride safely at an agreed average speed throughout the duration of each day.

Each peloton will ride at a collective pace, so it’s imperative everyone participating in the Ride reaches an agreed base level of fitness so they can ride safely with others. We recommend you download and read Entoure’s handy Group Riding Guide for further information on road and peloton safety, as well as their Guide to Bunch Riding.

The base level for this ride is 25km an hour and peloton average speeds will range from the base level of 25km an hour up to 30km an hour and above. All riders must understand that a certain level of training and experience is required. It’s important for everyone to work on stamina and endurance and that starts with simply getting on the bike.

If you have any questions on how to train for the ride, please reach out to Kent from Entoure on kentwilliams.entoure@gmail.com.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and their connections to land, sea and community. We pay our respects to their Elders - past, present and emerging - and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

This year we ride across the land of the Wiradjuri, Ngunnawal, Tarlo, Burra Burra, Wollondilly, Pajong, Parramarragoo and Cookmal peoples. We acknowledge and respect these living cultures and their peoples, as the traditional custodians of the land on which we ride and pay tribute to the unique role that they have played and continue to play in the region.
