ORGANISERS of this year’s Rutherglen Vintage Bike Ride are excited to offer a rare chance for everyday riders to roll alongside some of Australia’s most decorated cyclists and personalities this Saturday.

Former SBS Tour de France host, Mike Tomalaris will be among those soaking up the atmosphere and conducting interviews as will his fellow SBS commentator David McKenzie, who was a Giro d’Italia stage winner and former national champion.

Grand Tour stage winner and Olympian of the 1970s, Don Allan will be there along with Olympic bronze medalist and dual Commonwealth Games gold medalist, Wayne McCarney.

Olympian and World Masters Champion Stephen Fairless will be in the saddle and father-son duo David and Brian Dew will also be enjoying the recently completed Rutherglen Loops track.

Participants will have the chance to meet, ride, and share stories with these champions in a friendly, inclusive setting, as well as checking out a display of Australian Olympic and national team bikes and some of the bikes from Cadel Evans’ extraordinary career.

There are also multiple opportunities to win great prizes.

The Rotary Club of Rutherglen welcomes cycling enthusiasts, from serious to casual and all ages and abilities, to join some of Australia’s cycling greats at the second annual Rutherglen Vintage Bike Ride, taking place on Saturday, 26 April.
