Getting to the start line
Ride in: If possible, we encourage you to ride to the start line in South Brisbane, with plenty of bike paths and cycle lanes leading directly to the start area. Please note, direct access will be restricted to registered riders only.
Drop off: The best drop off location is Stanley Place. You can then ride through the Cultural Centre Tunnel to the start line area. Due to road closures, you will need to access Stanley Place via Montague Road. No vehicle access is permitted to the start line.
Drive and park: Park with ease close to the start line at SW1, South Brisbane Car Park.
Train from the Gold Coast: A train has been charted from the Gold Coast to the start line, arriving prior to the event start. Limited tickets are available for this service—book at the time of registering or via your dashboard.
On-course rest stops
There are two on-course rest stops for the ride at Eagleby and Coomera, where you can take a break, recharge with complimentary nutrition and water, and then get back on the road. These stops are also a great place to regroup with your teammates!
