Region’s cyclists prepare for USQ Ride the Range

The Toowoomba Range will be the domain of cyclists on Sunday 15 May for the inaugural USQ Ride the Range event.

Approximately 250 riders will tackle the course which starts at Picnic Point, progresses along to Flagstone Creek road, through the Lockyer Valley and Gatton districts before the cyclists return to Picnic Point via the Toowoomba Range.

Professor Bill Lovegrove, Vice-Chancellor and President of USQ is proud to support the event and wishes the 25 strong USQ team well in the event.

'The event supports the Prostate Cancer Association of Australia and has been organised through the Rotary Club of Toowoomba,' Professor Lovegrove said.

'Many of the event organisers are members of USQ Corporate Club and we all hope the Challenge will grow into a major tourism event over the years to come.'

'We are proud to support the event’s charity – the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and contribute to the community in such a way.'

The riders will have two ride options, a 60km option where they ride to Helidon or a 100km ride to Gatton and back.

Riders will be welcome to sign up on the morning of the event at Picnic Point from 5:30am. Additional details are available at www.ridetherange.org.au
