Alpine Classic - The Course |

|
|
The Audax Alpine Classic travels through some of Victoria's most spectacular countryside in the north west Alpine region of the state. The rides start in the lush Alpine Shire town of Bright. The routes of the four rides are shown below.
Controls & Supply
The function of the controls (or checkpoints) is for you to have your Brevet stamped and time recorded. At all controls we supply tea, coffee, milo, cordial, sticky buns, cake, fruit etc. Salad rolls are usually supplied at the Bright Control. All riders are expected to carry any special dietary requirements that they require, plus have the capacity to carry adequate water between the controls (two or three water bottles is strongly recommended).
Backup and Support
Audax rules prohibit personal support, ie. cars following riders. You are also expected to carry spare tubes and all other tools and parts that are necessary for you to complete the ride. You should have a well-maintained bicycle for the event. See the preparation page for advice on how to prepare yourself and your bike for the rides.
