We have just learned that Meerenie Loop permits are not being issued to bike riders. For this reason, the Meerenie Loop Option is NO LONGER AVAILABLE.
Due to current conditions, we do not wish to force riders to use the extremely difficult Finke Gorge NP Option. Other options between Alice Springs and Yulara are considered too dangerous to include in Race to the Rock. For this reason, we are changing the finish location to Alice Springs.
Riders may continue if they wish but it will not be on us.
