Elevation: 2347
Course description
In the cycling world 105km doesn’t seem that long but take a peep at the gradient and elevation gain in the event ………… OUCH.
This ride starts off with the red section. Here riders will cover 35 km of relative flat, sealed roads through the farmlands of Berry and towards the coastline, before winding back to the town of Berry and past the start line. Here you can refuel and recover (if needed) and start the double lap of the Climb section.
Two laps of the yellow (hills) section are where the name Challenge comes from, so pace yourself and take it easy on the descents.
Social: For those who just want to have a bit of a roll around, taking their time and taking in everything from the beautiful scenery to the wonderful atmosphere of an event ride.
Competitive: for those that have something to prove, whether it be to themselves or to fellow riders. This is for riders that want to turn in the screws a little tighter.
