Choose your adventure:
We've got two loops to tackle. Both are scenic but the 65km option will test your legs a bit more with 950m of climbing and a little more challenging conditions, while the rest of us can enjoy a scenic 40km spin with about 600m of elevation gain. Links for the loops are at the bottom of this description.

Membership matters (kinda):
An AusCycling membership or any other riding insurance is all that is required, proof of membership will need to be provided on the day. A racing license isn't necessary. Just gotta be part of the cycling fam! So recreational or trial membership is fine.
