Background:
One of our smallest Territories housing the City of Canberra and our
National Capital.
In November of 2011 a group of three riders, Margaret Peart, from
Tasmania, Australia; Derrick Sutton, Australia and Michiel Kerkhof
Kapellen, from Belgium, completed 21 laps of the Australian Capital
Territory in less than 24Hours. This is the original circuit used:
Some comments shared by Margaret: "Each lap was about 80.4km from
memory. We used ONE fuel stop, in Hume. Friends parked there for the
whole of the ride and, with Mike Kneebone's prior permission, we used
only them as "lap scorers/checkers", a la the Isle of Man TT1000 ride a
few months beforehand. For each lap, our odo reading, time of day and
lap number were recorded for each rider on a master sheet."
Since
the instigation of this ride, roadworks have now allowed for a
different route
requiring 20 laps of a 84.1Km circuit.
Read the rules
for
the iconic SaddleSore 1000 on the Ironbutt
Association site. The rules for this ride are similar and you
will get valuable background information.
