COURSE INFORMATION
Cycle for Homeless Youth
Choose from three ride distances at this year's Tour de PIF, each offering a unique challenge through the beautiful Mornington Peninsula.
Departing from RACV Cape Schanck Resort, all riders will journey through picturesque countryside before tackling their chosen course.
Whether you're aiming for a personal best or a scenic team ride, there's a course to suit every level.
For those taking on the 80km Long Course, a special timed segment awaits riders competing for the coveted Dirty King and Queen of the Mountain titles.
There are two aid stations along the ride. The first is the networking stop, which includes toilet facilities, a coffee van and snacks. The second is located closer to the finish line, providing riders with an opportunity to rest, refuel and get across the line.
