The course

The route

Around 285km and roughly 10,500m of climbing across seven daytime stages (both figures approximate until the organiser confirms). Each stage is a short, singletrack-dense 25 to 55km of steep loam descents linked by punchy climbs.

Intervals.icu

Seven days of technical descending

Typical sessions

Steep, rooty loam descents, relentless and skill-limited, for seven straight days.

Punchy short climbs linking the descents, repeated efforts that stack over the week.

Arm pump and grip fatigue from the sheer volume of technical descending.

Wet-coast conditions that turn roots and loam greasy without warning.

What your weeks look like

Typical sessions

Descending practice, then fatigued descending: technical trails at the end of a long ride.

Weekend doubles: 2.5 to 3.5hr Saturday, then a second technical ride Sunday on tired legs.

Punchy climb repeats: 8 to 12 by 2 to 4 min hard on steep climbs.

Grip and upper-body gym work to hold control when your forearms are screaming.
