Event Details

The tour de brisbane is a weekend of cycling for pros and recreational cyclists headlined by the uci gran fondo world series event.

The Tour de Brisbane is a UCI  qualifying event through the streets of Brisbane.  As the name suggests, this ride is based in Brisbane. Along with the races, you’ll find three non-competitive cycling events. The  Tour de Brisbane  also raises funds for the  Amy Gillett Foundation .

The  Tour de Brisbane  is one of three UCI qualification events now held in Australia.  The other one is the Amy’s Gran Fondo  in Lorne, Victoria.  The  2023 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships are in Glasgow, Scotland, UK.

As a rider, the choice is the 110 km Long Ride, the 80km Medium Ride, the 50 km Short Ride. You also have the option to join the 110km Long Ride UCI Gran Fondo World Series Qualifier.

The UCI Gran Fondo World Series is your chance to line up against your age group and see exactly how you stack up nationally and maybe against the world! 

The Gran Fondo/long distance is perfect for cycling enthusiasts and those craving a new fitness goal to tick off your bucket list! You’ll be riding from the Showgrounds and the Story Bridge to Freeways, Busways and Tunnels closed for riders only once a year – this is an experience not to be missed.

The 70km medium distance is perfect for any cycling enthusiast or someone looking to conquer the ultimate Sunday ride. You’ll be cycling from the Showgrounds and the Story Bridge to Busways and Tunnels, join your mates for a once a year celebration of all things cycling.

The 50km short distance is perfect for anyone looking for a memorable Sunday ride with your mates on fully closed roads. You’ll be cycling from the Showgrounds and the Story Bridge to Busways and Tunnels, join your mates for a once a year celebration of all things cycling.

The Tour de Brisbane is also a celebration of cycling with the National Road Series (NRS)  Representatives race over 2 stages.  This is the road race on the same 120km course as well as a criterium  on an inner-city Short Circuit race.

Brisbane weather at this time of year is very stable. Being in a semi-tropical zone and mid-autumn, temperatures should range from mid-teens to high 20s. If it does rain it should only be a light shower, as the rainy season will be over.

This is a weekend of activities, with rides to suit those looking for a challenge or the opportunity to stretch your legs! And don’t forget about qualifying for the UCI Gran Fondo World Championships.

More nearby rides, tour de brisbane, about the calorie calculator.

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities . The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.

Please also be considerate and mindful of the interests of local residents when parking and following routes.

Rider Information

The  UCI Gran Fondo World Series and Gran Fondo are offered in one distance and all starts are organised by age groups.

The 80km* and  50km*  are non-competitive recreation rides organised to get you and your mates on the pushy regardless of your pedal power abilities.

80km* and 50km* Riders can marshal and start with your mates.

110km* riders who wish to start outside their age group can opt to do so and must start in the mass start wave at the end of the Gran Fondo wave program.

Absolutely – everyone is welcome to ride!

If you do not think you can maintain the average speed requirements of the 110km*, we recommend you enter a shorter distance such as the 80km* or the 50km*.

If you are competitive, we recommend you join the 110km*.

Yes, you must be satisfied you will meet the minimum average speed criteria needed to complete your course distance within the road-closure period. There will be multiple curfew points across the course to ensure that your ride is fully supported and the event complies with issued permits.

110km*  – to be calculated on final course approval. Estimated at 20km/hr minimum.

80km* – to be calculated on final course approval. Estimated at 18km/hr minimum.

50km* – to be calculated on final course approval. Estimated at 18km/hr minimum.

Community Ride – to be calculated on final course approval. Estimated at 10km/hr minimum.

More info on not meeting a curfew is available in the terms and conditions .

Important Notes:

(1) Riders who choose to bypass Mt Coot-tha will not gain the commensurate distance elsewhere on their ride; their overall ride shall as a result be shorter than the advertised Gran Fondo distance.

(2) Riders who choose to bypass must give way to all riders who are coming off the descent on the approach to Legacy Way return. This will be signed and marshaled, and adequate lines of sight for both sets of riders prior to merge point will be created.

(3) Any rider in the 110km* who chooses the bypass will continue to have their time recorded but will not be eligible for any age group placing and will not be eligible to qualify to the Gran Fondo Championships.

(4) There will be a timing loop at the base of the climb at Simpsons Road and a loop at the summit adjacent to Channel 2 Station; a rider must cross both these loops and complete the full Gran Fondo distance to be recognised in the above placings.

(5) Riders who are behind the advertised speed minimum or curfew time will be asked to use the bypass; the roads must open at the advertised time in accordance with the road closure permit.
