Home - Life Cycle for Canteen WA

AT A GLANCE:

OffRoad event:

Interested in the Munda Biddi but only have weekends available? Interested in supporting youth and their families whose lives are affected by cancer?

Building on the 2025 ride from Lake Brockman to Pickering Brook, Life Cycle for Canteen will be completing the Lake Brockman to Donnybrook section in May 2026 as we ride the entire length of the Munda Biddi over a few years and raise funds for Canteen.

This is a fully supported ride with meals and accommodation provided, that caters for people of mixed capability and experience, and for those that are returning, will not be as challenging as the 2025 ride.

There will be social rides and events over the next few months to allow riders to experience riding with others as part of a group and as we get closer to the ride in May, there will be weekly/fortnightly rides in and around the Perth hills to build distance of ride and fitness for those who will be joining the ride.

The 2025 event occurred 3-5 May 2025. Fully supported ride on the Munda Biddi Trail between Lake Brockman and Pickering Brook.

Daily distances for the 2025 event were in the order of Day 1 (Saturday) 58 km, Day 2 (Sunday) 73 km and Day 3 (Monday) 72 km. As in the past, there will be shortened distances for those who choose not to ride the full distance Day 1 (Saturday) 46 km, Day 2 (Sunday) 51 km and Day 3 (Monday) 47 km.

The Munda Biddi Foundation is run by volunteers who assist to maintain and improve the trail with two of the LifeCycle Committee members being volunteers. Please consider becoming a volunteer for the Munda Biddi Foundation.

Practice Rides: March to October. See OffRoad tab for details.

What is Life Cycle for CanTeen?

Life Cycle is a registered charity which runs events for OnRoad and OffRoad cyclists in WA. The OnRoad event started in 1998 riding from Perth to Busselton over three days. March 2024 was our last one of these.

Our OffRoad event started in 2012 and takes place in September or October each year. So far, we have travelled the length of the Munda Biddi Trail and visited the Margaret River, Collie, Pemberton, Denmark and Nannup areas.

Life Cycle is the biggest community fundraiser for Canteen in Australia. Canteen members, volunteers and staff participate in the OnRoad, giving riders the opportunity to meet and hear from the people we are supporting.

Life Cycle is run by a dedicated group of volunteers on two committees.

Life Cycle for CanTeen Inc (ABN 27 251 421 905) is registered as a charity with the ACNC.

What is Canteen?

Canteen is the only organisation in Australia dedicated to providing tailored support for young people aged 12-25 who are impacted by cancer. Through Canteen, they learn to explore and deal with their feelings about cancer, connect with other young people in the same boat and, if they’ve been diagnosed themselves, Canteen provides specialist, youth-specific treatment teams.

Your contributions will support Canteen WA in supporting Young People through providing connections with other young people in similar situations through events and programs; free counselling and individual support; 24/7 online support communities and specialist treatment and support services for young cancer patients in hospitals.
