The Mid West Grinder 2023 route is ready, and registrations are now open!

The ride starts at the South Mole Lighthouse in Walyalup/Fremantle and ends at the Point Moore Lighthouse in Jambinu/Geraldton, or Coorow for the short course. The route features endless open gravel roads (65% unpaved), unique regional and Outback towns, breathtaking views, world-famous wildflowers, and of course, river crossings.

As with any other self-supported ultra-endurance ride, @Mid_West_Grinder follows the unsupported ride rules and ethics. This means there are no prizes or outside support, and drafting is not allowed. It is a single-stage ride, meaning the clock does not stop once it starts. Tour or race, it is up to you. Every rider is advised to carry a GPS tracker and register it on the designated Maprogress page. This is your ride, your challenge, and your safety is your responsibility.
