About riding in Australia
Australian rides range from coastal roads and rolling hills to long, remote stretches of open country. Seasons are reversed from the northern hemisphere, so the best riding is often spring and autumn, with intense heat in summer.
Estimated finish times
The route is about 155 miles. Here is the moving time at a steady average speed. It is a flat-ground baseline: climbing, wind, stops at aid stations and group riding all move the real number, so treat it as a starting range.
| Average speed | Moving time |
|---|---|
| 10 mph | 15h 32m |
| 12 mph | 12h 57m |
| 14 mph | 11h 06m |
| 16 mph | 9h 42m |
| 18 mph | 8h 38m |
Most recreational riders average 12–16 mph on rolling terrain in a group, and less on hilly routes.
