The Little Foot (25km) The Little Foot will suit beginners and social riders. This loop will combine the flatter single track with some faster more open riding. This race will start after the more competitive Big Foot so riders should not feel pressured to ride fast if a social ride is all your after.

The Big Foot (50km) The Big Foot is the premier event and will follow plenty of fast flowing fun single track. The remaining course will use fire trails and double tracks to link the best single tracks. The course is designed to be fast with the occasional log or gully crossings to keep you on your toes.

Two Big Feet (100km – Two laps of The Big Foot) Two Big Feet will suit the more experienced riders. The extra length will make for a good days ride. The course is pretty flat and fast. This race would be a perfect first attempt at a 100 km ride or for a more experienced rider trying to set a personal fastest time over 100 km.

In addition to the RAMBO course on Sunday, we are also going to run a Junior course for littlies or beginners who do not feel confident to ride the full RAMBO track. So those of you with youngsters, throw their bikes in as there will be something for them to do while you are out riding. We will only charge for a participation licence on the day.
