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.
