Entries are now open for the NAB Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge, and this year riders can test themselves with an extra challenge on the day before the big event.

On Saturday 2 August the C4 Hill Climb Time Trial will challenge riders with a timed 13 km climb up the road from Coramba along the East Dorrigo Way. This is a new event for 2014 and the organisers expect to see some good times as riders test their legs. Riders will leave at 30 second intervals with the first rider away at 2pm. To join the individual time trial riders will also need to enter the NAB Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge which runs on Sunday 3 August.

If a 13km uphill ride isn’t for you, there are still plenty of other choices for the NAB Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge. This popular charity road ride is run by the Coffs City Rotary. Each year hundreds of riders come to cycle along the quiet local roads riding from the Coffs Harbour beaches into the Bellingen hills and back. There are lots of choices from the 100km solo challenge, teams options, 60km solo and a 20km or 10km family ride.

The 60km and 100km options are a great way to set yourself a challenge to ride further or faster than you’ve ridden before. If you are an experienced rider then why not challenge your mates to train for the distance and help them achieve their goals. There are also rides for the family, so encourage your partner and children to come along and enjoy the 10km or 20km family ride this year.

The NAB Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge is proving its popularity with more and more riders every year, the ride grew from 460 to 731 riders in 2013, and the organisers are preparing themselves for double that number this year.

Check the website for a video of the event, and training information that will help you prepare for the big day. Go to: http://www.coffscoastcyclechallenge.com

The event Committee have decided that riders taking advantage of the NAB Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge Early Bird entry fee will also have the chance to win an open order of the random winner’s choice on any store for $400 including GST. Early Bird entry forms must be completed prior to the 30th June 2014

Every entrant in every category of ride will be eligible.

Do you have a Retro Bike ?

Female and Male 60 km and 100 km categories of ride in the 2014 NAB Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge will again have the opportunity for special prizes for those who ride a retro bike.

Our definition of a retro bike is "one with a steel frame and downtube shifters". If that's what you have why not ride it in this year's Challenge?

This is the fifth year of the Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge with more riders participating throughout NSW and from the other states. The Event has rides of up to 100 kilometres starting and finishing at the Coffs Harbour Jetty Foreshores plus the C4 hill climb. The challenge is very popular with events for the rider that likes a challenge plus the scenic views and relaxed environment. The 2014 Challenge, being held on the 3rd August, will have seven different categories to enter suiting all cyclists.

Riders from all levels, from a fun ride to the serious rider who wants to be competitive. Really well organised great event with extremely cheerful helpful people. Sensational picturesque scenery and the challenge of the undulating hills.

Video Competition

This year riders will again have the opportunity to enter the NAB Coffs Coast Cycle Challenge Video Competition.

Create a video of your ride on the day of the Event.

The judges will be looking for action, scenery, colour and excitement but most of all lots of fun and smiles; perhaps a few grimaces.

The winner will receive a $400 Visa Cash Card, How special is that?
