What’s happening?
The Event Village opens from 9am, so come down early, register for the ride, grab a coffee and enjoy plenty of entertainment and activities before the riders head off.
There’ll be live music from Beth Chia, plus coffee and ice cream from Sips & Scoops and sweet treats from Penny Lane Sweet Shoppe.
For the kids, and the young at heart, Head Over Heels’ Roving Rangers will be cruising around on bikes with their roving acrobatic show, The Hygge Farm will be bringing along their petting zoo, and Shelle’s Fancy Face Painting will be creating colourful faces throughout the morning.
The Shire will also have a sensory tent and sunscreen station, and Southwest Water Cartage will be onsite with drinking water to keep everyone hydrated.
A rider briefing will take place at 9.45am, before the Rainbow Ride sets off at 10am.
You don’t have to be riding to join in! Come along to cheer on the riders, bring the kids, enjoy the entertainment and soak up the atmosphere at the Event Village.
Rainbow Rides is about getting the whole community involved – on and off the bike.
Registration is free but encouraged.
