The course

The route

The Long route covers around 130km and 2,500m of climbing over fast, well-graded Adelaide Hills gravel with rolling road connectors. The elevation comes as repeated punchy rollers, not one big col, so the race breaks up on the climbs. Medium and Short options run the same terrain over less distance.
