Brant and Fleur have put together a couple of days of fabulous riding for 2026. Neither day hits 500k but both of them require attention to navigation!
Here's the route.
Day 1
https://www.plotaroute.com/route/3228435?units=km
There's 4k of unsealed road on Day 1 after Seppeltsfield. It's a good, level unsealed road that is easily avoided if you really don't want to go that way, but we're leaving it in.
Otherwise, Fleur believes she's avoided all of the dirt roads. That's not guaranteed of course, so let her know if you find any others.
DIRECTIONS ERROR #1 (darn it plot-a-route!)
Instruction 25 says to turn left from Lobethal Road onto Miller Road, then instruction 26 says to turn left onto Stafford Road. This is incorrect. At the point of the turn cited in Instruction 25 you will be turning onto Stafford Road (street sign clearly marked Stafford Road), at instruction 26 you will again be turning left onto Stafford Road (not going straight ahead onto Miller Road). Take a close look at the map and this will make sense.
