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 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 this section are where the name Challenge comes from, so pace yourself and as always, take it easy on the descents.
