$2,500 99BIKES GIFT CARD
Valley Velo is back! Bigger, better, and bolder than ever! What began in 2023 as one of Brisbane's only charity gravel bike events has quickly grown into a flagship ride on the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail (BVRT).
In just two years, the Valley Velo community has raised more than $330,000 for charity — and in 2026 we’re aiming higher than ever to reach a total of $500,000 in fundraising!
Every cent raised will go directly to the MND and Me Foundation, supporting people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and their families, helping fund vital research, care, and support services.
Why Valley Velo?
Our incredible event partners - Goodwood Finance, ENTAG, Best Life Adventures, and Groundcrew are passionate about two things: cycling adventures and making a difference. With either a personal connection to MND or simply wanting to make an impact - Valley Velo is their way of giving back while celebrating the BVRT they love.
This event is not just about the challenge, it’s about community, camaraderie, and riding with purpose.
What’s New in 2026?
Fresh Routes: Updated courses to keep the ride exciting.
Community Finishers Village in Esk: With feedback on board, we are continuously improving the Finishers Village - Celebrating your achievement with food, music, and mates at the finish line.
Plenty more updates to come!
