Regional Environment Centre Challenge

Sunday 17th to Monday 25th October 2010

9 Days - 8 nights

The second annual RECC mountain bike tour is a nine day point to point ride through the Margaret River, Cape to Cape region. Keeping off the main roads the route has been planned to take in the most of this extremely diverse region.

The tour starts and ends at Glenbrook Farm Stay about 4km south of Margaret River, just off the southern ‘Rails to Trails' track. Utilising local tracks and little used roads we will travel from Margaret River to Cape Leeuwin and return via the Willyabrup Wine Region, Margaret River and Blackwood River catchments, Augusta, Hamelin Bay, Boranup Forest and Contos Beach.

The RECC is not a race. It's a tour in the true sense. Some hard and some not-so-hard days, with the emphasis on smelling the roses, not on clocking up the kilometers.

All riding will be fully supported with most meals prepared at Glenbrook and delivered hot and delicious to riders on route, campfires at night and a touch of the gourmet at wineries and cafes whenever possible.

Riders bring their own camping gear and this will be transported from one campsite to another.

The cost is all inclusive except for alcohol, cappuccinos and meals on our rest day.

The tour is limited to maximum of thirty riders. Cost per rider $1150.

THIS EVENT IS ORGANISED AND RUN BY VOLUNTEERS. ALL PROCEEDS OF THIS RIDE WILL GO TO THE MARGARET RIVER REGIONAL ENVIRONMENT CENTRE AND MARGARET RIVER BICYCLE USERS GROUP.
