With thousands of kilometres of sealed roads across the region, the Northern Rivers is an ideal place for road cycling.
Most of the roads in the region are minor highways and rural roads with very few cars and less trucks. Most of the heavy traffic is confined to the M1 Motorway and so the old Pacific Highway has now opened up many more routes.
Local roads wind through sugar cane farms, dairy farms and a variety of orchard areas as well as many State Forests, National Parks and coastal headlands and beaches with some spectacular scenery.
Many of the best cycling routes have been mapped by ourselves, the Byron Bay Cycling Club and other local riders. We have tried to collate a selection of the courses here, but there are many more routes out there waiting to be discovered!
Throughout the year we offer special annual events and regular weekly rides. Annual events tend to be longer rides that you might want to train up for using the weekly rides to do so. We'll also let you know about upcoming Audax and sponsored rides.
With the rising interest in vintage steel and classic aluminium bikes there is also a monthly Vintage Bike Ride allowing you to air your old bikes with like-minded enthusiasts.
The events calendar can be found here...
Due to Covid-19 the club has not started racing yet but other clubs have, and you can enter local race events via EntryBoss as many clubs do not handle sign-in on the day anymore.
Find a race you think you'd like and enter online.
The club has a burgeoning vintage bike crew that celebrates all vintage steel and classic aluminium bikes made pre-2000, with rides every 3rd Sunday of the month. So shine up that old bike and come along. We take the ride seriously (but not too seriously) so this isn't a cruise.
Ballina Bicycle Club has a Strava Club page also.
Join the weekly competition for a bit of fun competing against other local athletes.
Sign up to our weekly newsletter and find out about what happened this week and whats coming up next week, plus some other entertaining tidbits.
