for

VINTAGE STEEL FRAMED CYCLES.

NOOSA MARINA

2 Parkyn Court, Tewantin

 

 

Set in the beautiful Noosa hinterland, NOOSA STRADE BIANCHE – GRAND FONDO is an all-new 128 km loop encompassing picturesque country roads, stunning vistas and characterful country towns.

In keeping with the original L’Eroica, there are several challenging climbs & descents, and of course several sectors of ‘strade bianche’; the ‘white’ or unsealed gravel roads.

En-route, there are an assortment of cafes & bakeries,even a country pub or two, for those so inclined. 

Also new for 2013 is a shorter route: the 85km NOOSA STRADE BIANCHE – MEDIO FONDO

 This is a self-supported ride, so carry your own spare parts/ tubes etc.

There are plenty of opportunities along the way for toilet stops, re-filling bidons, coffee stops, even devonshire teas & counter lunches.

Also new for 2013 is a track morning at the newly opened Girraween Criterium Circuit, on Saturday morning before the Bicycle Show at Noosa Marina
