There are hills that make your legs protest and descents that cause your soul to sing. The views are better than you’d see in a magazine, and fresh mountain air like you wouldn’t believe. Looking around you, flanked by thousands of other riders, you see smiles, determination and exhilaration, and that’s just the spectators. Live music spurs you over the next crest, and plentiful rest stops await with all the replenishment you could ever need.

Crossing the finish line is to do something amazing, and we throw one awesome party to celebrate. Grab a complimentary ice cold beer / soft drink and head into our purpose built Celebration Plaza, complete with great food, awards ceremonies, massages, sponsor lounges & more. There’s fun, active activities for kids and a rocking concert that goes all afternoon long. Later, there’s entry to an official afterparty and deals for great accommodation – we’re willing to bet it’ll be a long time until the smile fades from your face.
