Sure! We offer discounts for groups. Email info@goodnessgravel.com for the details.

Gravel bikes are the most obvious choice and strike the best balance for comfort, control and speed. Mountain bikes are a popular choice as well. E-bikes are welcome. Road bikes are not recommended.

38 to 48mm wide tyres are the most popular choice. Running tubeless is a good idea. Our sponsor, Panaracer have an excellent range of gravel tyres if you're looking for some new rubber.

Regardless of what bike you ride, remember to bring spares.
‍

Glorious spring days! Mid Septmeber in Parkes can be fresh early but warmer during the day without getting too hot.

We highly recommend that you organise your own Third Party Public Liability and Personal Accident Insurance. If you have a membership with AusCycling, Flip Insurance or similar, this will cover you.

You can transfer your entry to another rider or take a credit for another event.

In the week leading up to the event.

Your safety and enjoyment is our top priority. We'll do our best to monitor the situation and communicate any changes in real time. Events maybe altered or cancelled if required. You'll receive an automatic credit in the event of a cancellation.

Friday evening or Saturday morning. See the schedule above for more info.

Either! It's up to you and there will be plenty of company regardless of which option you choose.

We want you to push yourself as much or as little as you like but have a couple of things we'd like you to be mindful of:
‍
1) We want you to enjoy the day, have fun, celebrate the gravel community and enjoy riding somewhere different.
2) You'll be riding through remote areas. Mobile coverage is not always guaranteed if you need help.
3) Ride to the conditions and your skill. Don't be a d!ck and don't let your ego get out of control. Be courteous and friendly to fellow riders.
4) Be prepared and self sufficient. This means bike serviced, spares and fitness to complete the ride enjoyably.
5) Obey the road rules and watch for traffic. You'll be on quiet but open roads.

Big and Medium Loops
1) At least two aid stations. We'll have a fabulous spread of sports nutrition and real food.

Optional Bag drop - big loop riders
We will transport your rider bag to and from the main rest stop. Space limitations mean we can only accept riders' Goodness Gravel bags. It will have your name on it but we recommend using a coloured ribbon or similar to make it easy to spot.

First Aid will be available at the event village and also roaming on course. An emergency number will be provided at registration.
