Disaster Relief Australia (DRA) is the official volunteer partner of an electric weekend in Aussie Cycling beginning 5th February, 2021. RoadNats, as it’s affectionately known, is the most prestigious national event on the Australian road cycling calendar.
Australia’s elite will descend on Ballarat for the battle to be crowned the national champion along with thousands of fans and supporters ready to watch their favourite riders on TV.
Visit the DRA booth this weekend for your chance to enter our competition. Prizes include a $1000 Bunnings voucher, RM Williams Go Bag and DRA member gift pack.
Two members of the DRA leadership team Sarah and Lee are attending the event and can be found at the DRA marquee located right by the start/finish line.
The Gran Fondo National Championships is one of the premier road cycling events in Australia with five days of intense racing around the streets of Ballarat. The event includes time trials, criterium and a 58 km road race that incorporates a challenging hill climb over Mt Bunninyong.
Peter Brunt is a Melbourne client and project manager with Jacobs. Jacobs has been a major partner of DRA for many years. Several of Jacobs’ staff are founding members of DRA. Check out their great work at jacobs.com.
Peter has ridden bikes all his life, mostly as a commuter, but more recently as an ‘enthusiast’ in endurance cycling. He rides a mix of terrain with a gravel bikes for offroad (great in the winters) and a road bike for the smoother stuff during summer. Like all cyclists he spends a lot of time looking at Strava!
