Brisbane Takeover 2027
We’ve taken over the country’s capital, now it is time to takeover Brisvegas. Don’t worry there is much more to Brisbane than the Fortitude Valley night life. We will be exploring Brisbane, Adelaide Bromptoneering style.
If you are interested in joining us next year, let us know on the Brisbane Takeover 2027 page.
Canberra Takeover 2026
We had a great time in Canberra with near perfect weather, fantastic company and excellent bike routes. We also met some local Brompton owners and Helen was interviewed by local radio. On top of all that we raised $1,150 for Mildura Days for Girls the charity supported by our most excellent supporter – Julie.

Throwback Thursday
On Thursday 28 May, I am going to re-ride the Mismatch Brewing route that we rode on 17 March 2024. Times have changed, Mismatch is now closed. So I will be starting and finishing my throwback-Thursday ride at the Prince Albert Hotel. If you’d like to join, I’ll be passing by the Prince Albert Hotel around 10:30am. No need to RSVP.
My second throwback is to thirteen years ago when we rode the 5 Boro Bike Tour in New York with 32,000 of our closest friends. The 5 Boro Bike Tour happens each year and perhaps it something you might like to consider on your Brompton! I am sure Jeff would happily join you for a ride.
Brompton World Championship
Saturday 18 April 2026 was not a normal day at California’s Laguna Seca Raceway. While the circuit is more accustomed to motorcycle screams and tyre smoke, this time it hosted something altogether more civilised — and considerably more eccentric. The Brompton World Championship returned to the Americas for the first time since 2018, and it did not disappoint. Read more on Grand Fondo Daily News.
