That’s the philosophy behind the Heritage Bank Ipswich 100 Bike Ride.
Since it’s inception, this incredible event has raised funds for various local Not for Profit charities and organisations in the Ipswich and Brisbane region.
It’s an event our own City of Ipswich Mayor Paul Pisasale has been proud to support and we would also like to acknowledge the great work of McIntyre Centre for providing life changing activities to special school students from Ipswich to Brisbane.
Now….It wouldn’t be a success without the volunteers, sponsors, groups and organisers.
The Moggill Mt Crosby Lions would like to thank The Heritage Bank, Ipswich City State Emergency Service – SES – Unit, Lions Club Of Ipswich, Regional Lions Clubs and Sponsors St Andrew’s-Ipswich Private Hospital, Exact Radiology, My Life Medical, Physioactive, Ipswich Hospital Foundation, Articulate Framing, Blue Ribbon Motors, Yellow Jersey Bike Shop Ipswich, USQ Ipswich Campus, Got that Shot images, Coca-Cola Amatil.

This year, with the help of 24/7 Cycling Safety Fund, the Heritage Bank Ipswich100 will feature five rides catering to all types of cyclists, with all courses starting and finishing at the USQ campus. These range from a 5km on campus family and kids ride to a 170km road ride within the Scenic Rim, taking in Walloon, Rosewood, Warrill View, Harrisville, Kalbar, Mt Alford, Boonah and Peak Crossing before returning to Ipswich. Three other rides within this route give further options of 100km, 50km and 25km.
Please visit our website www.ipswich100.com.au or our Face Book Page Ipswich 100 Bike Ride for further information or to register for the ride. With under 55 days to go you need to ‘get on your bike’ and come and join us for a great healthy day out, and help out one on our many beneficiaries. The ride will be held on Sunday 17th of April, in the middle weekend of the Ipswich Festival, and will be part of a big cycling weekend for Ipswich, with cyclists flocking to the city for the ride and for two Ipswich City Council sponsored criterium races and other cycling activities planned for the inner city Saturday 16th April.
