Last Saturday Velosure hosted the first Real Bike Insurance MTB Cruise in Canberra at Mt Stromlo. A number of our colleagues made their way down to Canberra to either ride, race or help out. A big thank you to everyone that participated. The day started out pretty wet, but the sun came out soon enough and it sounds like everyone had a great time.

The winning ad will be chosen based on creative idea, execution, and a crowd vote by way of seeing who gets the most views on YouTube. So the competiti...
