Start at Fairmont Circuit (usual M7 start) - Metro probably not running)
Long endurance ride with continuous cycling and minimal stops.
This is an out and back route, with a surprising number of climbs although nothing steep. Shared path all the way with the exception of on road travelling in/out Luddenham
Riders should be comfortable in a group with continuous riding above 25 km/h avg with few regroups – Wylde MTB (toilets & water - 32km), coffee at half distance then on the return stop at Wylde (60km) and or M7 bubbler (74km)
Due to lack of shade and distance carrying 2 Bidons is a must. Weekends need to be careful due to increased users of shared path.
No bailout option, except retrace one’s journey, so one needs to be self sufficient with basic bike maintenance (dropped chain, puncture etc)
Coffee at Gemma-Lee's Cafe (toilets & water)
