This year marks the fifth edition of the Bowral Classic. A long-held dream of founder James Yaffa, it has progressed from a bunch of eager riders back in 2016 to one of the biggest Gran Fondos in Australia.
As part of a new series, we’ll be taking a trip down memory lane to celebrate what’s great about the Bowral Classic.
First up, photos!
Over the years we’ve been fortunate to have a bunch of talented photographers on hand to capture the magic of ride day.
So enjoy some of these classic snaps from down the years!
2016
The inaugural Bowral Classic saw riders experience the majestic Southern Highlands for the first time. Safe to say Phil Latz captured the beauty perfectly.
2017
The second Bowral Classic built upon the success of 2016, as you can see from these great shots by Beardy McBeard.
2018
Beardy was again on hand in 2018 to capture the inspirational side of this Gran Fondo.
2019
Last year’s event was the biggest one yet, thanks in no small part to the man in pink, Lee Turner! Photos are from Beardy (top) and Tim Levy (bottom).
