Testimonials

I loved having a chance to ride my vintage bike in a group ride in Adelaide! And to see some magnificent scenery around the Barossa.


– 2024 Participant

The ride, the weather, the post-ride atmosphere, dressing up and getting into the Italian spirit... a dream day!!


– 2024 Participant

The 60km route was picturesque. Wish I did the 85km for even more gravel goodness. Was great to have fun and a laugh both on and off the bike. Well done Bike SA team!
