THE COURSE
The course starts at the farm and almost immediately climbs Sugarwell Hill then crosses over to Woodhouse Ridge climbing all the way to the top edge with a fantastic long and fast zig zagging descent across the whole ridge before returning to the farm. It’s so fun that you’ll want to do it twice, which you can if you enter the 10km!
