TOUR
DE GRACTOWN 11TH ANNIVERSARY:
There is no other South
West touring event like the Tour de Gracetown and now in its 11th
year – it grows from strength to strength.
We recently celebrated our
10th Anniversary with the return to our roots – at the Gracetown
Hall in Gracetown where it all began some 11 years previously.
We can also be proud of the
fact that we are probably one of the original Western Australian based ride
events that donate our proceeding to local charities namely the St John of God
Foundation and the Telethon Adventurers. To make it uniquely Australian –
the entire event management team as well as associated companies working
towards the success of TDG are also Australian and we ensure that our event
contributes to the local infrastructure and the economy.
We are definitely not a
road race but instead a social community ride for charity – and we have since
2015 created realistic average speed groups so that riders who are signing up
can self-seed themselves and also invite their friends to sign up
appropriately.
The commencement times and
average speed categories are appended in the sign up section. We are also
encouraging as many groups to attend and ride in YOUR colours whilst at the
same time also supporting the charity by pre-purchasing our Event Jersey that
you can then use in the course of the year to continually remind the cycling
community about the Tour de Gracetown.
We are equally fortunate to
have great synergy partners in this year’s event namely St John of God
Foundation, Telethon Adventurers, Glen Parker Cycles, the Bike Valet, Enervit
Active Hydration and the Perth Integrated Health Cycling Group, Café 2 U
Kenwick Maddington, Reids Meats, The Good Grocer and Perth Integrated Health
sports medicine They have together combined their expertise and
experience to ensure that the 10th anniversary will be one of
celebration yet with the sombre focus that our ride event is for a cause and
that of children suffering from cancer.
We will be hosting Training
Rides for TDG 2016 where we will train riders to accomplish the TDG 55 km
which is for developing and progressive riders and TDG 110 km which is for
established and endurance riders. We will cater training for both but you
will need to indicate your interest in the registration column.
Those with GPS enabled
computers can also look forward to the provision of turn by turn GPX and TCX
files and we are making arrangements to ensure that the Bike Valet will be
available for those wishing to do the 55 km distance and still have transportation
back to where we will be hosting our celebrations!
COSTS:
Under 18s - 55km and 110km - $45
Over 18s - 55km - $75
Over 18s - 110km - $100
