Both groups leave from PD BikeWorks in Macrossan Street and finish at Origin Café in Grant Street, and the training ride is open to all members of the public, whether they are taking part in the Jungle Ride or not.

The Whitelion Jungle Ride is roaring into its third year, raising funds for the Whitelion charity, which helps to empower disadvantage kids through the community so they can break negative life patterns and lead positive, fulfilling lives.  

Register for the 90 kilometre or 180 kilometre Whitelion Jungle Ride, either as an individual or as a relay team.

Narrated by the voice of the AFL and Australian Open Tennis, Craig Willis, it is a moving and inspirational video.

So get inspired and get training for the Jungle Ride!

And speaking of the AFL, Whitelion also hosts the annual AFL Final Series Luncheon at the MCG on grand final day, this year for the 11th time.
