RIDE WOLLONGONG
Festival of Cycling
18 May 2025
Ride Wollongong’s Festival of Cycling is a celebration of life on wheels!
Get involved raising much-needed funds for Southern Youth and Family Services as you join Ride4Rotary. Celebrating the legacy of the 2022 UCI Road World Championships, the Festival of Cycling has something for everyone in the beautiful city of Wollongong!
Alongside Ride4Rotary distances, the festival will include various activities such as food stalls, community expos and local heroes. Join us to commemorate Wollongong’s Olympic moment and continued celebration of the city’s UCI Bike City status.
It is with much disappointment that we must announce the cancellation of
this year’s Tour De Gong time trials and criterium on Sunday 18 May at Ride Wollongong Festival of Cycling. Despite our best efforts to promote the event through direct outreach, email and social media, registrations have remained much lower than expected, making it financially unviable to proceed. We understand this is disappointing news, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.
More than an event.
It’s a Festival!
A celebration of cycling, inclusivity
and community.
Ride Wollongong will bring a festive atmosphere to Wollongong, recapturing the magic of the UCI Road World Championships. Come down to cheer on participants in the Ride4Rotary distances and enjoy the festivities. Local businesses and organisations are sponsoring the event, contributing to its success and celebrating Wollongong’s iconic community spirit!
Take a look back at the 2022 UCI Road World Championships in Wollongong.
