Three distances are on offer in this event on mainly gravel road and jeep track. There are short single track sections scattered along the route. Emphasis is placed on a balance between a worthy challenge and showcasing the beauty of the area. The longer 55 kilometre event is a difficult ride best suited to fit and experienced riders. The intermediate 40 kilometre ride may be shorter but is still a tester of endurance and fitness. All three routes follow the same direction and take on the notorious ‘Hill of Friends’. So called because the climb requires most of the field to get off their bikes and have a friendly chat while enjoying the scenery.
