The Wellington Rocks - 66km

The Wellington Rocks might be shorter than the Range Rumble, but it's still a serious adventure. 

Expect challenging climbs, rugged forest roads, creek crossings and technical terrain through the spectacular Basket Swamp National Park. With plenty of climbing and rewarding descents, this is a ride for those who enjoy getting off the beaten track.

Starting from the Tenterfield Showgrounds, the route rolls through town before heading north into Leeches Gully Road, where the climbing begins.

After crossing Tenterfield Creek, the course transitions onto gravel through Basket Swamp National Park. You’ll navigate a mix of fire trails, creek beds and flowing gravel sections that reward steady pacing and confident handling.

A sharp climb onto Lindrook Road tests the legs before fun rolling terrain leads you toward Basket Swamp Road. The final section delivers a fast bitumen descent along Mt Lindesay Road back to the Showgrounds - where the race village atmosphere awaits.

This is a course for riders who enjoy pushing themselves - without going all-in on the long course.
