The course is mostly flat to undulating but does include some hill work in areas but no bitumen road riding. The lovely Denison Creek winds its way through the course and provides an abundance of water out on track. Camping is available at ride base and contains basic shower and toilet facilities with hot running water but no powered sites or catering available. The Retreat Hotel is within easy walking distance and offers accommodation, meals, drinks and ice. New members also welcome.

Our way of saying thank you for what we hope is a great weekend in memory of Alwyn.
No bookings for dinner required, it will just be us doing an estimate on how much stew we think we will need. Sit down around the communal campfire and swap some stories!
