Optional day activities

Maps are available at the Breakthrough T1D registration desk.
- If you’ve been part of One Ride for 4+ years, you’ll be invited to our Foundation Cycling Club (FCC) to celebrate with fellow riders.
Safety briefing
- Attend a safety briefing with Bike SA ahead of your ride the next day.
Inspiring guest sessions
