Course Description
From our event venue at Brewtown as part of #bikethehutt riders will make their way to Alexander Rd where the even starts. Once underway the course follows Alexander Rd for onto Messines Ave which we follow briefly before turning left onto Somme Rd.
​
Somme Rd become Heretaunga Sq and then the course follows a couple of right left combinations through Pemspey St and Gloucester St until riders reach Gard St which takes you to the roundabout at Silversteam Village. Riders will turn left at the roundabout on to Whitemans Rd. At the top of Whitemans Rd riders veer left onto Blue Mountains Rd which takes you to the base of the Blue Mountains climb at about 6km from the start.
​
Climb to the top for 2.2kms to gain 190m of elevation, and then turn left after about 11km into Whitemans Valley Rd. Follow Whitemans Valley Rd until turning left on to Wallaceville Hill Rd at approximately 21km. Go over the top of Wallaceville Hill and descend to the roundabout at the bottom where you will turn left onto Alexander Rd once again to repeat the lap three more times.
