Training

Your Smiddy journey doesn’t begin at the start line… it begins now!

There’s no doubt that cycling is a physical challenge, so to help ensure you’re in fighting form we’ve put together a handy training guide to ensure you’re in tip-top shape for the ride.

Join our weekly Wednesday Smiddy river loop

For Brisbane-based residents—every Wednesday at 5:30am we roll out from Adam Smiddy Park, Park Road, Milton, for a 40 kilometre river loop ride, and return by 7:00am for the obligatory post-ride coffee.

Everyone is welcome to come along. We roll out in multiple groups to suit a variety of speeds and abilities.
