This ride can be ridden as an individual or as a two-person relay.
Riders will need to organise their own transport to the registration and/or transition areas.
If you want to ride this you need to be confident that you can handle steep and winding descents. You will need appropriate low gears on your bike for climbing. There are long hills, there are steep hills and there are long, steep hills. Rather than thinking of this as a race against cyclists, think of it as an epic challenge to complete. All riders receive five series points for participating.
