Undulating, winding and incredibly scenic, the 27km route rises gently from Nannup along the Vasse Highway until it turns into Gold Gully Road, where it climbs to 305m at the halfway point, before launching riders into an exhilarating downhill to the finish line along East Nannup Road. Roads will remain open.
Stage 2 is our Queen Stage 99km 1245vm road race, from the heart of Manjimup to French’s Orchard on Channybearup Road. Cyclists will strike out through the tall timbers of Graphite Road, sweep left along the Vasse Highway and climb up through the valley into the Karri Forests before turning onto Channybearup and racing along the plateau to finish at French’s Orchard.
Stage 3 is a Team Time Trial. Starting at French’s Orchard on Channybearup Road after the Stage 2 Road Race, this 28km 460vm route delivers our teams back to the event village in Manjimup.
The 40km 457vm Balingup-Nannup Road is one of WA’s top tourist drives and one of the favourite routes of our TOMR racing community. On Day 3, we feature this fabulous forty kilometres with the out-and-back Roaring Forties.
Stage 4 is the Roaring Forties Road Race, featuring closed-road racing for the entire 40km from Nannup to Balingup. Stage 5 is the Roaring Forties Team Time Trial from Balingup back to Nannup.
