Cyclists of all skill levels and ages are encouraged to start training ahead of Edmund Rice Community Services’ Lucky Loops event.
Co-organised with the Westside Cycle Club, the non-competitive event will run from 10.30am to 2pm on Sunday, April 30 at Truganina.
The event will see riders take on a number of different courses, including a two-kilometre course for children and a five-kilometre loop.
Each child 12 and under who completes the two-kilometre loop will receive a lucky dip prize, while adults who complete the shorter loop can receive a coffee and scones and adults who complete the five-kilometre loop enter into a special prize draw.
The event will also feature a multicultural food and performances.
Edmund Rice Community Services recreation co-ordinator Michael Naismith said the event will have a strong multicultural flavour alongside its focus on physical activity and social cohesion.
“Many bike events can be a little intimidating for those that have never been in one and they are not always inviting for individuals and families from diverse backgrounds.
“That’s why we wanted to offer a bike event with a difference: one that is fun and exciting for beginners, but one which also provides an adventurous trail for the more experienced.“
