The epic ride starts in Malmesbury. It is a non-technical route on good dirt roads and jeep track with no single track sections. For the most part the riding is fast and flowing, the times should be relatively quick. The journey to the third watering point features some hilly sections but it soon flattens out into a pleasantly easy ride. The final stretch is an undulating ride with the fifth and final watering point at the 142 kilometre marker. From there it is but a short peddle home.
