August 28, 2022,Raiders Gravel: Stage 3

The final stage was a proper belter! What a great weekend of riding incredible gravel in the sun with an awesome pack of cyclists. Highly recommend this event!

It appears there was an issue with my elevation profile from my Garmin 530 so bare in mind if using this route.
