Get ready for a new adventure in 2027! Introducing the brand new challenge "Ride For Change - Unpaved".

Cycling 1000km in 7 days from Sydney to Melbourne with a new sidekick - the opportunity for people to swap out the usual smooth roads for a gravel adventure. Both this new Unpaved Challenge and the Road Classic have one goal in mind, to raise $150,000 for Gateway Children’s Fund.

Ride For Change is just that - an epic adventure making a difference; not only for kids who need it most but for those brave enough to don the lycra.

Stories

BOB CAMPBELL - 2019, 2023, 2025 RIDER

"For me, the support, kindness, fun, mate-ship and sense of unity were so present, and it was wonderful to be a part of such a great cause. We all had challenges, but there was always someone who would come alongside us with an encouraging word, a hand on your back, or just to ride alongside you. The people I met along the way have become lifelong friends. Serendipity would sum it up! Ride For Change was surprisingly great, and about more than just 1000kms."

ADELE KINCSES - 2023 RIDER

“Being involved in R4C was an absolute highlight of my 2023. It was a privilege to spend a week exploring the South Australian and Victorian countryside with the most encouraging team of people. Furthermore, knowing that we were contributing to positive change in PNG provided the extra motivation to complete this challenge, especially when the conditions got tough!“

DANIEL JONES- 2025 RIDER

“Knowing that by participating in this ride to raise money for the Gateway Children’s Fund I would help more kids gain access to an education was a huge motivator for me. When my dad rode in 2019, I know that he believed in the same mission so to be able to ride his bike this year is a great honour.”
