2026 BikeChain U19 National Road Series & Michelin Junior Road Series – QLD

The 2026 Quest Balmoral Junior and Women's Tour (BJWT) spans 2 days and encompasses 4 stages across 4 locations on Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th June 2026.

Again, this year, our junior and women's cyclists will be joined by U19 participants, who will also compete as part of Round 3 of the BikeChain J19 National Road Series. Additionally, the BJWT will serve as Round 2 for the 2026 Michelin Junior Road Series.

With 4 stages at 4 locations over 2 days, the BJWT takes riders on a journey through Brisbane and SEQ surrounds – from Ipswich & Haigslea in the west on Saturday to the Brisbane suburbs of Mt Gravatt and Murarrie on Sunday.
