The Noosa Strade Bianche is a homage to the ‘golden age’ of cycling. In the vein of the famed L’EROICA in Italy, Noosa Strade Bianche is strictly for steel framed cycles with downtube shifters (or bar-end shifters).

As a celebration of the steel framed cycle, there is no restriction on age of the frame set. NSB encourages the renaissance of the artisan-built steel frame taking place across the world.

Set in the beautiful Noosa hinterland, the Noosa Strade Bianche – Grand Fondo is a 137 km loop encompassing picturesque country roads, stunning vistas and characterful country towns.

In keeping with the original L’Eroica, there are several challenging climbs & descents, and of course several sectors of ‘strade bianche’; the ‘white’ or unsealed gravel roads.

En-route, there are an assortment of cafes & bakeries, even a country pub or two, for those so inclined.

The weekend also encompasses a Vintage Bicycle Show and Show & Swap meet at Noosa Marina from 11am – 3pm on Saturday.
