Race To The Rock - Endurance Bike Packing - Ep6

Yarns With Outdoor Aussies

This week I join Simon, April and Steve who recently competed in the 2020 Race to the Rock ultra-long-distance bike packing event. This year the race ran from Normanville on the Fleurieu Peninsula of SA, traversing the Mount Lofty Ranges, North through the Flinders Rangers, outback SA and NT, all the way to Uluru 2483km away. An absolute epic off-road cycling endurance event.

We discuss the route, the gear, the bikes, food and water, the desert, the outback hospitality, and the raw adventure of riding for 10-12 days straight totally unsupported as fast as possible.

To see more pics and all the updates, stats and to connect with the riders and organisers, check out the Facebook page @RaceToTheRock and @RaceToTheRock (DOT Watchers)

Do you have a mate that needs to ride their bike more? Share it round and get stoked to ride!
