Looks like we nailed the brief...and the ride...and the post ride activities 😀 Thx for a great review of our activity. Looks like you all enjoyed it as much as we did!

"We are the ANZ branch of German company BORA, who also happens to be the sponsor of a pro cycling team – BORA Hansgrohe. So for a teambuilding weekend away on the Sunshine Coast, of course we had to include some cycling.

Kent and Michelle were incredibly helpful and accommodating to all our requirements, and went above and beyond to make the cycling part of our weekend a memorable experience.

From excellent communication in finding out what we want to do; to arranging transportation, bikes and helmets; picking us up from our accommodation, to unscheduled pit stops (because we all cycle better after coffee 😉 ); to great cycle and safety briefings, as well as clear instructions and directions; catering to different skill- and fitness levels; to the support vehicle driven by Michelle and the experienced guidance of Kent – it was excellent. Could not fault anything, and will definitely want to return - either for the next corporate event or for a private trip.

Look no further than Ride Sunshine Coast – highly recommended!"

Susan (Branch Manager BORA APAC)

Looking for that next corporate team building activity then drop us a DM...we can organise everything from the accommodation, catering, cycling, non-cycling activities eg. Trail walking, SUP, massage, brewery and winery tours etc

DATE CHANGE

Seems like the Rosewood Roll Out & Coffee ride is proving popular but it was clashing with the B2GC and we'd hate u all to miss it so we've brought the Rosewood Roll Out & Coffee forward to the Saturday 16 July. All other details remain unchanged.

We feel a bit terrible about having to make a date change so we'll be bringing our Graveleur Pale Ales to make up for it...on us of course 😀
