Welcome to the 2019 Tour de Gracetown which is our 15th year of operations. We are back to our 2018 routes which was well accepted and appreciated by the participants and why change the winning formula when you have it.
We will start once again at Gracetown Hall and finish at Juniper Estate with safety vehicles to escort you out of Gracetown and all the way towards Bussell Hwy turnoff. The route will take you towards the northern sector of the South West coast in the midst of the many established wineries and finishing at Juniper Estate, Margaret River.
Check out the two routes here:
Longer Distance 118.5km

Shorter Distance: 59.1km

We can also be proud of the fact that we are probably one of the original Western Australian based ride events that donate our proceeds to local charities and for the second year running we have chosen two charities as or beneficiaries namely the Ladybird Foundation and the Prostate Cancer Help Association Inc. 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 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.
