Imagine you have just finished a days cycling on mint gravel backroads. You are tired but feel at peace as you enjoy a drink with your friends and family at the SteamPacket Hotel and watch the sunset.

This is Clarkes Gambit

The event name seeks to build on our Bushranger series of events; the Clarke gang led by brothers Thomas and John Clarke, were the nation’s deadliest bushrangers that rustled livestock, ambushed gold shipments and robbed traders from Braidwood to Bega in southern New South Wales in the mid 1860’s.

The event will feature two days of sublime gravel cycling with three (3) different distances to choose from. There is also a One Day option. Your entry fee is super good value and gets you:

🗺️ DOWNLOAD THE MAPS. Marking multiple courses on consecutive days is expensive, time consuming and bad for the environment. Uploading a GPX/FIT file to your bike computer is super easy. Even easier if you have a RideWithGPS or STRAVA subscription. Grab your IT Support buddy and practice at home.
