Routes feature a perfectly mixed all surface ride including plenty of dirt, gravel and paved roads and potentially some singletrack in Mega route. All routes 45% - 75% unpaved. We'll mark every turn in the with Arrow Signs. So while many riders simply follow the signs, we'll also provide free use of our RideWithGPS event account, so you can follow the route with visual and audio cues while riding. FIT or GPX files can be downloaded from RideWithGPS to upload to your bike computer of choice.
In an Enduro/Grand Fondo style, you'll be competing for the fastest combined time for specific timed segments, rather than complete ride time. There will be three signs for each Strava segment - Approaching, Start & End. So you'll know when to start going full out and for when you've completed each segment. You can choose to either ride the whole route all out or chill and enjoy the scenery and just hammer the competitive timed sections.
