3 Day Riders (Cairns to Mt Surprise)
If you want to be part of this awesome adventure but are unable to commit to a full 7-day experience, then the three-day option may be the perfect alternative!
You will join the 7-day riders at the start line in Cairns at approximately 5am for a dawn start.
For details about the 3 days, please check out the ride itinerary.
Three-day riders are responsible for making their own travel arrangements from Mt Surprise. It is expected that most riders will arrive between 3 – 4pm at Mt Surprise on day 3.
Whether you choose to leave straight after arriving in town or the next morning is up to you. For those heading off the next morning, join us for breakfast before you go.
1 Day Rider
If you want to be part of this awesome adventure but are unable to commit to a full 7-day experience, then the one-day option may be the perfect alternative!
You can select which day of the event you want to join. You will need to provide your own transportation to and from the event. Check out the ride itinerary here.
If you decide to join Day 1, you must be an experienced cyclist who is capable of making it up the Kuranda Range (15kms at 7% gradient) unassisted or have your own transport arrangements in place (ie support crew) to drive you up the Range from Smithfield (opposite the shopping Centre) to Kuranda.
