The Schedule:
The Mille isn't just about riding - there are other bits too! Here's an overview of how the whole event runs:
Rider meet & greet: this is held the evening before the first ride day in a venue where you can grab some dinner if you want. As well as getting to know everyone, we go through expected conditions on the route, weather forecast etc. and hand out t-shirts, legshield banners and the task lists for the event. Attendance is compulsory for both riders and back-up vehicle drivers.
The meet & greet for 2026 will be held in Hahndorf, SA at 6pm on Tues evening 29 September, at the Old Mill Hotel.
Rider briefings: held each morning before we set off for the day's ride. We go through any last-minute route changes or other pertinent information. Attendance is compulsory for riders.
Trophy presentations: we organise an event, generally a lunch, the day after the riding finishes, where we can relax and chat and hand out the trophies. Attendance isn't compulsory, but we do encourage everyone to come along. It's a nice way to finish after a tough couple of days' riding, and to take a group photo.
2026 event: We're back at the Old Mill Hotel.
Overnight stop and dinner: due to the unique format of the 2026 Mille the overnight stop on Wednesday night will be back in Hahndorf.
Meals and accommodation: these aren't part of the event ticket price, so it's up to participants to arrange these themselves. Where a location is really small, we might organise for a cafe to open early so that you can grab some breakfast for example. We'll let participants know if we do this.
This keeps the ticket prices down and allows maximum flexibility for participants to choose the budget option or go all in, get a spa suite and dine on caviar and champagne!
