In the style of a European one day classic, starting and finishing in Orange, the 170km circuit with 2,200 metres of climbing takes you through Cargo, Canowindra, Mandurama and across the ascents of Mt Canobolas. The never ending hills, sharp tough climbs and challenging road surfaces will put all of your training to the test. 

Cyclists who take on the challenge need to be in very good physical condition and be able to ride at a minimum average speed of 19km/h throughout the day in order to complete the ride within the 9 hour time limit. There will be cut-off points instigated along the route however, with the right preparation and training, anyone can take on the challenge and succeed. Team Bicycle Network will be by your side with full en-route support, including food and rest stops.
