TOUR DE GRACETOWN - SATURDAY 31st Oct 2020
Late entry fee now applies - $140.00 per rider. Registrations close 8am 31/10/2020.
If registering on the day, please note cash payments not accepted, credit card only.
Welcome to the 2020 Tour de Gracetown which is our 16th year of operations. We have expanded on our 2018 routes and fine tuned them in 2019 and in 2020 we return with not two but three distances.
Consider therefore the: Grande 120 km, the Medio 90 km and the Petit 60 km categories for your choosing.
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.
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.
