Final 2018 Course

After another two more rounds of recce riding, we're excited to share the final 2018 course with you!

The nature of The Pioneer means it takes several recce explorations to ensure we land on the best riding experience possible. Check out some behind the scenes footage of this process here.

We’re also continually grateful for the support of the landowners who allow us access to their beautiful back country stations to bring you this course.

Each stage is between 21km - 101km, with between 1,100 – 3,500m climbing. The total course has now has 40% single track, 424km of riding and 15,124m of climbing.

So it's time to ramp up your training! (Tip: make sure you're practicing your descending just as much as your climbing!)
