Ride Preparation
There can be a lot to organise before embarking on a bike ride. Read our top tips below on the best ways to prepare for Breakthrough's Big Bike Ride.
Stay hydrated
Make sure you bring at least two 750ml water bottles or a hydration backpack. There will be refill and rest stops approximately every 25km along the route.
Gear up
Please remember to wear your limited-edition Breakthrough jersey on the day. Also bring sunscreen, Australian standard regulation helmet, pump and a small repair kit.
Start training
Make sure you embark on a training regime before you begin – particularly if you haven’t ridden in a while – but make sure you undertake it only with your GP’s advice.
Check your ride
Make sure your bike has been serviced recently and tyres are pumped and ready to go!
