Event Overview
The Bondi2Berry Ride is a one-day cycling event held on Saturday 14 November 2026, marked as the event’s 11th anniversary. The ride starts at the North Bondi Surf Life Saving Club and finishes in Berry on the NSW South Coast, travelling via Wollongong and Kiama. It is run as an open-road event under normal road rules and is sanctioned by AusCycling, with riders organised into paced groups.
What the Course Demands
At 155km with a stated 1,700m of elevation, the route asks for sustained endurance and steady climbing over a long day. Riders are expected to operate safely within a moving group, riding two abreast and staying with their pack. The course includes scheduled pit stops en route, but the overall distance and accumulated elevation place an emphasis on consistent output and controlled pacing across changing terrain.
Who This Event Suits Best
This event suits experienced cyclists who are comfortable riding in a structured pack and can manage a full-day endurance ride. It is a better match for riders who can handle a hilly 155km route and follow open-road expectations, including normal road rules. Participation also requires meeting AusCycling membership requirements and the event’s stated fundraising commitment.
