Scott Frontier 300 | 2 Day 'Road Only' Adventure

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 summary

• Day 1 | 175km distance. Elevation gain 1700m (approx).
• Day 2 | 125km distance. Elevation gain 2200m (approx).

Route details

• Each rider will be given a route booklet with event information and maps of the course.
• The entire route is navigable via GPX. The course is not marked on the ground, except if a section needs to be diverted (at which point you will see the route marked with small yellow flags).
• As the route is long and unmarked, please ensure you carry the means to backup electrical devices with additional batteries/power.
• The full ride GPX is available 2-3 weeks before the start.
• Some GPX/mapping software will automatically re-route to ‘known trails/roads' 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.

Overnight camp
