This rolling course profile has something for everyone. In the handicap format it will be important to keep your bunch together and working smoothly over the rolling terrain. Gauge your progress at the turn points and wind up the pace to make the catch or stay out in front.

Location

Course Start / Finish is at Lookout Hill Tharwa.

Parking

There is only limited parking at the lookout and riders are recommended to park at Tharwa Village. Should you decide to park on the road near the start you please ensure that your vehicle is completely off the road, and keep parked vehicles well clear of the start / finish area.

Course

The race will be 2 laps of a 25km course for ~50km total race distance. Start at Lookout Hill on Tidbinbilla Road. Head north on Tidbinbilla Road and turn around just after the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. Return to the base of Lookout Hill to complete the first lap. Head out again on the same course and turn around at the Tidbinbilla turn point. When you return to Lookout Hill for the second time the finish line will be top of the hill.
