Have you organised your Oppy ride?

Thomas Price

The Oppy is scheduled for 14 March 2026.

The Fleche Opperman All Day Trial (or “The Oppy”) is a 24-hour team time trial held annually by Audax Australia.
Teams of three to five bikes must ride together at least 360km and finish at a designated location in each state…
and if you’re not up for 24 hours of riding, try the Traces (200km in 24hrs) or Petit Oppy (180 km in 14 hours).
Teams choose their own routes to the designated finishing place.

The Oppy is a unique time trial in which teams ride a route of their own choosing to a common finishing point. The only restriction on route selection is that teams should ride a tour, not repeat circuits.
Having formed a team, your captain should register first, completing the team details in the online entry system. Each member must then also enter online, through the Audax Portal.

The Traces and the Oppy’s ‘little brother’, the Petit Oppy, are available in most regions and run on the same date as the Oppy.

The Traces requires participants to cover a minimum of 200 km in 24 hours.
The Petit Oppy requires participants to cover a minimum of 180 km in 14 hours of riding.

All states (except Qld) have the same start date: Saturday, 14 March 2026
Qld: Saturday, 11 April and 2 May
