Arguably the most difficult single day cycle event in Australia with the 200 km version covering four steep climbs. All distances start at Howitt Park in Bright and are on open roads. == Distances == * (Alpine Classic Extreme (250km) ) First run in 2010 after surfacing of the Bogong High Plains Road beyond Falls Creek was completed in 2009.
