do you know if the route will be marked and intersections marshalled or must everyone follow the route on their GPS units, how may Water points will there be?

What a cracker of a race - definitely something to put on the bucket list. Excellently organised, great GEES and super vibe all round.

That climb at the end is going to leave me with some trauma for some time to come... 😂

[mathewk]

That was the most fun Ive had in a while coupled with the most Ive ever suffered on a bike.

@Sidekick Racer you absolutely smashed it mate!
