THE LONG RIDE AUSTRALIA

Raising Awareness of Prostate Cancer and Men's Health

The Ride

SYDNEY TO PORT DOUGLAS

The Long Ride starts when you leave home.  Although we all start from a different place, all riders will eventually meet up either on day one, two or three and travel the remaining distance together, and enjoying each others company each night.

Accommodation

Each ride Gail organises at the major stops along the ride for group discounts. As part of the registration process you'll be asked if you want to take advantage of the group bookings. Depending on the town, your options might be five star to camping, depending on your preference.


As we know more each stop along the time line will be updated to include the accommodation locations.

Getting Home from VICTOR HARBOUR
