THEY include MDN and ME, Protea Place and the Rotary District 9630 Inc Drought Relief program.

The event was scheduled for March 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to be postponed.

It runs from 5am-3pm on Sunday at Picnic Point.

Participants can nominate for a one of six rides of varying difficulty.

The easiest is the Nifty50, which takes riders for an easy roll from Picnic Point and down the range, meandering along the back roads of the Lockyer Valley and taking in the scenery.

The200 is the hardest circuit, taking riders to the bottom of the range and back up.

The ascent includes inclines of more that 45 degrees and is reserved for experienced riders.
