STAGE 5

The first 35 km are the same as the last 35 from Stage 3 but in reverse and brings a whole lot of new challenges and tricky tough little climbs.
Enter the Atherton MTB and complete over 20km of beautiful single track including the Alpe d’Huez on dirt, the infamous ’Stairway to Heaven’ and many other fantastic purpose built XC single track.
Back out into the Baldy Mountain Forest Reserve winding through the dense national park through Walsh River tracks and over the Highway to the Herberton Nation Park.
Some tough pinch climbs through Herberton National Park before rolling tracks and a short bitumen section before the 5km climb to Drovers Lookout.
A short decent and more rolling windy national park trails before popping out on to a bitumen road and a few kilometres to the finish.
True queen stage with a bit of everything.
