Approximately 30 cyclists of varying abilities will challenge themselves as they take on a  inspiring and unforgettable ride through the beautiful ACT countryside. Rob Crowe\, 2-time Olympian and champion Australian road cyclist\, will accompany the cyclists providing expert advice\, support\, and motivation. The routes will cover over 100 kilometres on both Friday and Saturday with a short ride on Sunday morning. \nOver 18 years we have raised over $4.2 million. This year our combined target is $200\,000 for Giant Steps Sydney and Giant Steps Melbourne.  \nThe money raised from the Bike Rides has enabled Giant Steps to erect playgrounds\, convert a derelict building into a library\, continue to expand the services provided to students and their families\, offer overnight respite in Sydney and has assisted with the new build and expansion in Melbourne.  \nIf you wish to sponsor a rider by making a direct deposit to our bank account\, please contact Michelle Jocum. \nPhotos from 2024\nDay 1 photos  \nDay 2 photos \nBike ride photo over the years  \nA big thank you to our primary sponsor:\n															\n																														 \nEVENT SOLD OUT!\nDue to popular demand\nLorem ipsum dolor sit amet\, consectetur adipiscing elit.

It was a wonderful few days of community\, challenge and purpose. \nWe were delighted to have our Chairman\, Barry\, coordinating the support crew throughout the ride. A special thank you also to Steve and Sue Anthony\, who joined us for the welcome dinner and warmly waved our riders off. \nOur heartfelt thanks go to Dania Zinurova\, Jeremy Norton\, Adrian Atherton and Cameron Abbott\, all Giant Steps parents who championed this event. Because of the incredible efforts of our riders\, support crew and community\, we raised an amazing $176\,000\, bringing us well beyond our goal. \nWe were blessed with beautiful weather\, and aside from losing the occasional rider along the way\, the ride was a great success! Thank you to everyone who made this year’s ride possible. Your commitment goes a long way and makes a meaningful difference to the Giant Steps community.
