We will be riding to raise money and awareness for Zimbabwe’s pensioners, and for the Friendship Bench, the mental health charity creating safe places for vulnerable people across Zimbabwe and the world.

The Yarra Valley Old Legs Tour has come to an end and we need to give a huge shout-out to both the riders and the wonderful supporters.

The grand finale of the Old Legs Tour 2025 dawned with splendid weather and a headwind that whispered its own challenge.

The day dawned with perfect cycling weather and an “easy” 35 km roll to breakfast in Marysville, which is cyclist-speak for “downhill with coffee at the end.

It was another cold start to the day, the sort of cold that makes you question your life choices, your layering strategy, and anyone who ever described cycling as “fun.”

We’re almost halfway through this Old Legs Tour, and the weather decided to play nice—none of that “I’m a mountain, climb me!” nonsense today.
