After having huge success in previous years, we are so excited for the South West Bike Trek to be back in 2020!
The South West Bike Trek is set to commence on Sunday 11 October from Sir James Mitchell Park, South Perth Foreshore and it will finish in Augusta on Saturday 17 October.
The wonderful event has once again been organised by trek co-coordinator and CLCRF member, Eric Maddock, with the help of Lions and Rotary Clubs and is expected to follow the schedule below:
- Day 1 Sunday 11 October – South Perth to Fairbridge
- Day 2 Monday 12 October – Fairbridge to Preston then back to Fairbridge
- Day 3 Tuesday 13 October – Fairbridge to Harvey
- Day 4 Wednesday 14 October – Harvey to Bunbury
- Day 5 Thursday 15 October – Bunbury to Busselton
- Day 6 Friday 16 October – Busselton to Margaret River
- Day 7 Saturday 17 October – Margaret River to Augusta
Please remember that this trek is a charity bike ride that will be conducted at a leisurely pace, although all riders need to be able to ride at least 20kph. The trek is not a race in any form and the group will work together to ensure each other’s wellbeing.
Last year the Southwest Bike Trek raised an incredible $36,376 for CLCRF and over the years it has raised close to $700,000 in total! This year the target to reach is $40,000.
Costs: There is a daily cost of $40 which covers meals, accommodation, fuel and other expenses. If you participate in the entire ride Sunday to Saturday it’s a total of $190. The sponsorship component minimum that is required but not limited to, is $300 if you wish to take part in the entire trek or $100 for one section/day.
