The first Tour de Cygnet attracted about 180 riders for two events – one a 17k family “dawdle” through beside Port Cygnet Bay and the other an “endurance” event of 38k.
With lessons learned from the first event, April’s will see a tougher endurance event, a family event just that little bit easier and an added special route deemed “child-safe” as it sticks mainly to a back road with little traffic.
In keeping with the nature of Le Weekend @ Cygnet as a celebration of the area’s French heritage, Le Tour de Cygnet will not be a race but a joyful outing for cycle enthusiasts, family cyclists and those who bike occasionally for the fun of it.
Everyone has a chance to win the prizes on offer – but it’ll help you win if your bike and outfit have a distinctly French flavour to them.
The details of the 2017 Tour de Cygnet are unfolding so stay tuned.
