Trophies and Medals to be won!

We have been wanting to organise a night event and a single speed event for some time now, so here it is, we have combined the two to make this one of the most challenging events you'll ever do! This event will be held on 7.5km of the legendary Black Stump course. It has 200mtrs of vertical.   The track is a mixture of clay, grass, bush covered track and gravel road.

This event is for teams relay and solo single speed.  We don't care what bike you ride as long as it's only got one gear!

Make a weekend of it!

Camping available from Friday.12hr event starts at 9am on   Saturday, 6hr event at 3pm.  Roast lamb on a spit will be available from 6pm for you to cut a hunk off a get into it!   (There may be wild pig too, if our pig hunter is successful in getting us a pig!) 

There will be NO beer shortcuts, but in keeping with the back to basics minimalistic culture whilst single speeding we have created "The Undies Lap"!  This is an optional lap cycled in your best undies and it will give you a bonus lap.  One undie lap per solo rider, two undie laps per team. (laps must be done by different riders). Yes female riders, bras are counted as undies and the laps can be done in the dark and of course optional!

Event finishes at 9pm - there will be a bonfire, so bring some beers to relax and chill at our place!

Sunday, anyone who would like to have a guided safari (on your bike) over the rest of the farm with Graeme, is welcome to come.  Start time and distance will be decided around the bonfire on Saturday night!
