Turns out there is a pretty unique event happening in November, to coincide with the 150 year celebrations for the Cape Wickham lighthouse. It will be a 100k bike ride taking in the three "towns" on the Island. Given that there are only about 1200 people here they are not really big towns.
The ride is 85km tar with about 15 km dirt roads, a couple of good climbs and plenty of undulations. Riders will go from one end of the island to the other. Unique as there is hardly any cars on KI. The event will run in conjunction with an 80k ultra marathon with all participants finishing at the lighthouse at the one time. Pancake breakfast at the start apparently, and sure to be plenty of crayfish, abalone and calamari floating around that evening, not to mention the best cheese and beef in Australia.

I will certainly be having a ride. Here are a few pictures to show you why you should come.
