Psst..why not try an mtb enduro event? Pssst.;.they're much more exciting than road ones and harder!

Do they have any in your state? Many of the enduros down this way offer 25km,50km or 100km options. That distance might not sound hard but on the Ottway odessy, it's mainly UPHILL .

Come on over to the awesome dirty side of cycling . Many many tracks to explore, many trees to maneuvre around or hit & log overs in corners to swear at..
