Event Overview
The Bobbin Head Cycle Classic is a community cycling event held on Sunday 29 March 2026, starting and finishing at Karuah Oval in Turramurra, NSW. The program offers four ride options—104km, 80km, 57km and 27km—set up for a wide range of abilities rather than a competitive race format. Routes travel through areas including Bobbin Head, and longer options also include Terrey Hills, Akuna Bay and West Head.
What the Course Demands
Across the ride options, the course is characterised by notable elevation changes and several sections that require controlled descending and confident handling. Event information highlights steep descents at Bobbin Head across all rides, with additional descents on certain longer routes including areas around Terrey Hills, McCarr’s Creek Road, West Head and Akuna Bay. Riding occurs on open roads, and bunch-riding dynamics can be a factor, particularly early on.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits cyclists who prefer an organised, non-timed ride with structured support on course and a choice of distances. The 27km option fits newer or social riders seeking a shorter route, while the 57km provides a step-up for regular riders. The 80km and 104km routes are better suited to experienced cyclists comfortable managing longer efforts and repeated climbs and descents.
