About The Veloroos

The Veloroos are a team of non-professional female endurance cyclists, passionate about riding bikes and pushing the boundaries of what you can achieve if you let go of fears, take a step outside your comfort zone, and dedicate yourself to your goal. Each of the riders have full time jobs and do not do cycle as professional athletes, that’s one of the key differences to the Veloroos from other cycle teams. Each rider is committed to funding their place on the team which includes flights and race entry as well as all training costs prior to the race.

Alongside their training, the team are responsible for organising all the race logistic, race vehicles and communications, sourcing 12 volunteer crew, booking flights, accommodation and food, the creation and implementation of all the team marketing, social media and promotion, securing kit and equipment sponsors and organising fundraisers for our two chosen charities, Tour De Cure (riding to cure cancer) and the Amy Gillett Foundation (helping improve awareness and cycle safety).

About the Race Around Ireland

This 2,200 km race has 23,000m of climbing, complicated navigation & plenty of wind, rain and difficult conditions that make it one of the toughest endurance challenges in Europe. The Veloroos’ team of 4 will be the first team from Australia to enter this race aiming to win the female category.

Unlike other cycling races, the RAI is a non-stop race held on open roads. There are no marshals controlling traffic and there are no planned aid stations, rest stops, or stages. Once the clock starts, the team will race continuously, until they reach the finish line. Support crew form an essential part of our team, working to keep riders as safe as possible, and enable the team to sleep in the vans 

between shifts on the bike by driving and navigating, preparing food, fixing bikes and motivating the team to keep going when tiredness sets in.�
