Overview

The 8 stages of the route will be open in early 2024 and will be available throughout the year.

In its entirety, the route is 650 kilometres in length with 7300 metres of elevation gain and a ride time of approximately 36 to 40 hours. It can be completed solo or in small groups either as one epic adventure or in convenient smaller stages spread over the year.

Each stage involves 4 to 5 hours of riding with an opportunity to camp at the end of each stage. Motel accommodation is available in some of the towns.

The bike ride route links all the downward journey monuments built in 1924 to mark the expedition route. The interactive map below compares the two routes and it can be seen that the bike route is much longer than the explorers' route.
