Join us for a no-drop social ride around the beautiful rolling gravel roads and trails of the Tiger Tracks Gravel course. TTG Course Designer and Jalbarragup local Vanessa Johnson will lead the ride.

The Two Tigers route is ~50km, with options to shorten or extend. Final route options will be decided based on the experience level of the group. Pace expected to be 15-20km/hour.

Two Tigers Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3307246157307934966

Please arrive at 7.15am for 7.30am roll-out from the Darradup Volunteer Bushfire Brigade Shed on Johnston Rd, Jalbarragup.

The ride will be in remote country, so be prepared. Bring:

  • mobile with Telstra network coverage or a satellite communications device (e.g. Garmin Inreach)

  • route loaded to bike computer/phone (before arriving - terrible network coverage around Nannup)

  • sufficient hydration & nutrition for the ride (3-4 hours)

  • sunscreen & chamois cream

  • all spares

  • appropriate clothing for predicted weather

  • any medications you may require

All riders must wear an Australian Standards Approved (or international equivalent) helmet.

Bikes should be suitable for off-road terrain (e.g. mountain bike or gravel bike fitted with knobbly tyres) and have working brakes. If you need to hire a bike please contact Three Tanks Cycling in Nannup in advance.

SAFETY

It is recommended that you load these apps to your phone - they both work without network coverage.

  • St John First Responder App - to assist with emergency service response

  • Experience Nannup App - provides accurate map positioning in case you find yourself off-course (better than Google Maps or Strava). Select Mountain & Road Biking and toggle on Locate to find your position.
