The route follow a clover leaf format with each day’s start & finish from the same venue in McGregor. The route offers challenge and reward for experienced riders as well as weekend warriors and riders looking to attempt their first MTB stage race.
Daily Route consists of:
30% - Open gravel roads or jeep tracks, with a good combination of flat, rolling hills and one or two steeper climbs.
70% Amazing single track or cattle paths. The terrain is mostly hard rock formation and few loose gravel sections. (No crazy stuff, just mother nature providing us with some fun tracks and trails!)
(Note: Riders looking to attempt their first stage race do not mean new to mountain biking in general. Riders need to have some mountain biking experience and have done a 40km MTB race or more!)
