Choose your adventure by selecting the course length to suit your ability. Short, mid and long rides are available to all riders. The first ride held in the Hunter Valley on 19 February 2022 offers riders three courses: 23km (or 15km), 46km and 69km. E-bikes welcome!
It’s time to get your blood pumping, so rustle up your friends and family to come soak up the atmosphere.
