Australia's largest multi-event cycling festival, the Brindabella Challenge, hits Canberra December 2-4. The festival features 12 events across all disciplines including road, mountain, BMX, touring and recumbent bikes. Top level competitors can vie for more than $30,000 in prize money, while recreational riders and families can choose from a range of scenic rides, kids rides and winery rides to suit all ages and fitness levels.
