Scott Frontier 300 | 1 Day 'All Road' Epic

Rider briefing

Rider Briefing is via email prior to the event. Any last minute updates will take place at registration. There will be no announcements in the morning in order to ensure a quiet start at this early hour out of respect for local residents.

Abilty level

Riders should be aware that this is a long event requiring a level of independent planning and a good degree of fitness. Due to the nature of the route, once riders start they are committing to long days in the saddle.

As a guide we would expect riders to be able to ride in the region of 15kph average in order to make the crossing on the Saturday. This allows some time for short stops at Feed Stations.

Kit list

A mandatory kit list is readily available.

Route details

• Each rider will be given a route booklet with event information and maps of the course.
• The entire route is completed via GPX. The course is not marked on the ground, except in forest sectors in the event of a diversion.
• As the route is so long, please ensure you carry the means to backup electrical devices with additional batteries.
• The full ride GPX is available 2-3 weeks before the start.
• Some GPX/mapping software will automatically re-route to ‘known trails' depending on software settings. We advise that riders check the route against the original map before importing to a device.
• Riders must remain on the route at all times in case officials need to locate you.

Cut offs

Cut-offs at Feed Stations 2, 3 and 4 will be used to ensure rider safety and general welfare:

• Feed 2 | 13:30
• Feed 3 | 19:00
• Feed 4 | 22:30
