Gears and Beers Festival

The annual Gears and Beers Festival is a community cycle challenge, combined with a Craft Beer Festival. The event is conceived and run by the Rotary Club of Wollundry Wagga Wagga.

Wagga Wagga is well known as an active community and they are proud to provide an event that promotes health, fitness and fun for all ages.

The focus is on community participation; Mum's, Dad's, children, current cycle enthusiasts, beginners and business challenge participants. The craft beer festival has been created to meet the growing appreciation for the range of handcrafted beers and ciders produced in the region.

The combination of the cycle challenge, the craft beer festival, outstanding locally roasted coffee, accompanied by great local food, plus first-class musical entertainment, makes for an enjoyable day.

Ride distances begin with Strawberry 10 kilometres, Salty 70 kilometres (Dirt sections), Roadie 110 kilometres, and culminate with their marque ride 'The Dirty 130' which contains four challenging dirt sectors.

This event has continued to draw the attention of cycle enthusiasts from all over the country and will continue to draw people to Wagga Wagga.
