Choose your challenge
The OG 170km route will see you take on changing terrain and seemingly endless hills that make up the 2,200 vertical metres; whereas the new 88km route will be a little kinder on the legs, while still encapsulating everything this ride through breathtaking Wiradjuri Country has to offer.
