Peaks Challenge Falls Creek 2017
About the Event
CEO Nick Lee and The Jodi Lee Foundation team are taking on The Peaks Challenge, one of the top 10 toughest one-day cycling events in the world.
The 235 km course takes you through some of the world’s most picturesque and tough terrain.
There's over 4,000 metres of vertical climbing - Tawonga Gap, Mount Hotham, and the best that is the back of Falls Creek, all within the 13-hour deadline.
Every cyclist who finishes within the 13-hour deadline receives a Peaks Challenge Finishers Jersey and for those who complete the event in less than 10 hours there's a coveted under 10-hour version.
Just staying ahead of the Lanterne Rouge is challenging enough!
A BIG thanks to 99 Bikes Prospect for providing our Santini cycling kits for all of our participants.
