You can challenge yourself as an individual rider, or enter as a team of 4 and ride the distance together, as a group, at the pace of the slowest rider. This ride will give a real sense of the wheatbelt - starting with plenty of big trees and lots of shade and moving on to wide, open spaces and great views. Training is recommended for this event. Plenty of drink stops along the way. Check out the route on map my ride via the Gravel Grinder facebook page.

This event is a fun ride, encouraging people to get on board as a team, but individuals are more than welcome. The teams are required to change riders at each pit stop, so will need a support vehicle (with flashing light) that comfortably holds 4 riders and a driver (or a rider may drive). The individual rider will not need a support vehicle and can bypass all the pit stops, unless they need to re-hydrate. You can have some fun with this event and give your "team a theme" and dress up for the occasion.
Note: Legs can be done in any order, but each rider must do 3 legs.
Great for families, corporate’s, friends or people first embarking on a new fitness program.
Individual riders: please contact gravel grinder committee prior to the event if you need transport back to Moora or if you want to base yourself at Watheroo and need transport to Moora to begin event.
