Cyclist Australia presents Soigneur HC – Southern Highlands, New South Wales Australia
- Thursday May 5th to Sunday May 8th 2016
- Three days, three nights, three rides
- All inclusive except transport to venue
- Difficulty rating: Easy – Medium – Hard
We’re excited to be spreading our wings to new territory with this all-new Hors Catégorie trip in partnership with Cyclist Australia in the New South Wales Southern Highlands.
This three-day, three-night, three-ride trip was inspired by a Big Ride that we did with Cyclist Australia magazine to be featured in their March 2016 issue.
Soigneur HC trips are designed to be more testing than our regular seasonal trips. They take their name from the French term for climbs that are beyond categorisation, Hors Catégorie. This trip’s difficulty is rated Medium-Hard.
We’ll be based at a private retreat near Berry NSW, two hours drive from Sydney. Our mountain-top retreat is set amongst native bush with sweeping views of the coast. You’ll arrive Thursday evening, ride Friday, Saturday and Sunday before returning Sunday after a farewell lunch.
Expect two big days of around six-seven hours each, and one shorter three-four hour ride. Each ride will be at a solid but sustainable tempo with a no-drop policy but ample opportunities to test your legs on climbs.
On this trip we’ll celebrate the variety of this spectacular region including coast-to-highland climbs, descents through lush rainforest, short gravel sections and rolling hills through charming rural townships. We’ve utilised local knowledge to create varied and challenging parcours that’ll leave you ready for a big healthy feed whilst we take care of everything.
Each day you’ll enjoy a continental breakfast before your ride, a catered picnic or cafe stop mid-ride, followed by freshly prepared lunches and dinners, washed down with local beer and wine, or mineral water. Our seasonal menu will highlight the region’s finest produce and your dietary requirements and preferences will be catered for.
All rides will be fully supported by two experienced guides, follow car, mechanic, spares fleet and professional photographer. We’ll build and pack your bike for travel and it will be washed and serviced each day. You’ll experience pro-style treatment including remedial massage. You won’t have to lift a finger, just turn a pedal.
