Course Details
Backroads will provide riders with the opportunity to take the back road, not the main road, and gives access to a network of roads that you otherwise wouldn’t experience.
It starts and finishes in the town of Nabawa, taking riders through the undulating gravel roads within the Shire of Chapman Valley. The course route showcases the region at its finest, with blooming fields of canola crops and a glimpse of the local wildflowers. It’s a course that you would not experience anywhere else.
A special shout out to our Course Director, Roger Swan for putting these courses together and using his local knowledge to incorporate the best the region has to offer.
