Newcrest Orange Challenge

Warm up ride

Some tips from the locals

Need a short spin in Orange to warm up before the ride? Here are two loops recommended by the locals to get you started.

Mount Canobolas

Orange warm up ride

A 28km return with 400m of climbing that takes you to the base of Mount Canobolas (when you hit the Tea House you know you’re there – stop in for a coffee). 

Ride to the summit to make it 40km loop with 939m of climbing, at the risk of your legs being a little heavy the following day for the Newcrest Orange Challenge.

Orange Lucknow Loop

Newcrest Orange Challenge 70km ride

A 34 km loop with 293m of climbing that takes you out around the airport, but there is a small stretch of gravel road.  

A road bike with standard road tyres will be fine.  This is more an out and back with a loop near the airport.  A very popular ride during the week for the locals.
