Note – This is a ‘reliability ride’ and not for the faint hearted! It is not a led or group ride, so you’ll need to be self-sufficient. Plenty of scope to buddy up though – see below! We recommend you ride in small groups of 2 or 3, but you can take this as you want.
Time : 8.30am @ Station South benches.
Distance / Terrain : 100km with 2000m of climbing. All roads, some steep sections. There are multiple bail out positions as the route overlaps.

Speed : Whatever you want!
