Countdown
September
The big one of the three: 80 miles round a single loop, with about 20 miles of hardpacked dirt in the middle. Climbing is modest for the distance, so it's more about the long day.
Key facts
01About 20 miles of the loop is hardpacked dirt, so choose tyres to suit
02Single loop, so you finish back where you started
