We’re getting a Stay Gold Cycles crew together for the Bowral Classic 2026. This is one of Australia’s best-known Gran Fondo road cycling events, rolling through the beautiful towns, climbs and country roads of the Southern Highlands. The event offers three ride options to suit different legs, lungs and levels of enthusiasm.

Choose from the 85km Rouleurs Classic, 120km Challenge Classic or the big 150km Maxi Classic. All courses start on Bong Bong Street, Bowral and finish at the Event Village in Loseby Park, where riders can kick back after the ride with food, drinks, live music and the general good-times village setup.

Stay Gold Cycles team riders receive a 10% discount off registration entry.
