Q: What are the world records we are going for?
Most women at a female bike meet – currently held by the UK at the tally is 1549 women.

Q: Can I ride on the back of my fella's bike in the world record convoy ride?
No, but don’t despair! we will be able to pop you on a pillion ride so you can still be counted in the event. If we have guys ride in the convoy, it then does not comply with being an all women’s convoy.

The world record event is a single day event. It starts on the Sunday at 11am and concludes at 4.30pm
There is an after party celebration that starts at 6pm and goes until 11pm.
We are claiming and re setting three world records, these are as follows
Most women at a female bike meet – we need to beat 1550 attendees.
Most women riding in a convoy at one time, we still hold this record so we want to blitz it so no one else can take it from us. So 3500 is important.
Most Mother’s and Daughters at a female bike meet. So as long as you are Mother and Daughter by Birth or legal adoption (or legal gender change) you can count in this one, it’s a new record we are creating here in Australia. There is no riding involved and NO AGE LIMIT/ no STARTING AGE. for this one.
You can ride in a group with your friends, and you will get a special tee to wear on the day, as well as a badge and a certificate. Plus let’s not forget the afterparty!
