We believe cycling is more than a sport. It can be a pathway to better physical health, stronger mental wellbeing, greater confidence and meaningful friendships.
Technology can make cycling more accessible and bring people together across suburbs, states and countries. Real-world rides and experiences can turn those connections into lasting communities.
That is why Veloz bridges:
-
Virtual and real-world cycling
-
Physical fitness and mental wellbeing
-
Personal achievement and shared experience
-
Social riding and competitive racing
-
Local community and global connection
We are committed to creating a safe, positive and inclusive environment where riders support one another, enjoy the journey and feel that they belong.
Our Beliefs
BRETT McMURTRIE
Founder of WMZ to Veloz Cycling
Brett McMurtrie is the driving force behind e-cycling at WMZ, having pioneered the move from traditional club cycling into the world of indoor and virtual cycling.
In 2020, when COVID-19 disrupted outdoor racing and cycling communities, Brett saw an opportunity to keep riders connected, motivated and active with the driving force towards Mental Health through being active, regardless of location. Drawing on his own experience with Zwift, he brought together a small group of riders and helped establish e-cycling for WMZ.
What began as a way to maintain connection, quickly developed into a thriving cycling community, attracting hundreds of riders and establishing WMZ as one of Australia’s leading virtual cycling group. Under Brett’s leadership, he developed a strong culture around e-racing, social riding, teamwork, inclusion and helping riders of different abilities participate and improve.
Brett’s vision has always extended beyond simply riding a bike. He recognised the power of technology to bring people together, create new opportunities for participation and make cycling more accessible, social and engaging.
Today, that vision is evolving again through Veloz Cycling - building on the foundations, I am offering more and expanding the experience beyond indoor racing into outdoor riding, events, coaching, travel, community experiences and member benefits.
Veloz Cycling, Brett’s journey represents the evolution of cycling from a virtual racing community into a broader, connected cycling lifestyle
