Why as we, the organisers of the inaugural Terra Australis, chosen to run such an event ? Well that's a good question and I am glad you asked. For a start the individuals behind the organisers of Terra Australis, Finish Line Events, are all passionate mountain bikers. Clayton, Iain and Paul are not only fanatical about cycling but we are also proud of the region in which we live in North East Victoria. Victoria's High Country region has some of the best mountain bike riding in Australia as well as some truly unique and colourful towns and villages. There's historic towns, mountain playgrounds, wild rivers, lakes, great local produce, wineries and breweries.
We see an epic 7 day journey on a mountain bike through an event like Terra Australis, as a way to showcase the best of our region in a unique and challenging way. Riders start high up in the Victorian Alps with spectacular vistas and 7 days later make their way down to the plains and the finish of an epic journey. That's the difference with an event like Terra Australis, it's not just a race, it truly is a journey, a personal and team challenge. It's an experience like no other. We really want to capture the true spirit of other similar international events like the Trans Alp, Trans Rockies and Cape Epic. We hope to see you on the start line on March 29, 2009.
