RIDER MANUAL
The 2027 Rider Manual is coming soon. We will have all the details you need right here closer to the event. If you have any questions in the meantime, get in touch at pipelinechallenge@bigyellow.au
TIMING
The Big Yellow Pipeline Challenge is not a race. But we know you all enjoy a bit of friendly competition, so our volunteers will be there to time your ride and will make this information available each night.
ACCOMODATION
Fancy a few nights under the stars? That is exactly what you get to enjoy while conquering the Big Yellow Pipeline Challenge. We will be camping on local recreation grounds in Southern Cross, Merredin and Grass Valley, starting with some more rustic camping at the Coolgardie Golf Course. Toilets and showers will be a welcome relief following a hard day on the bike.
Bring all of your own camping gear as listed on the Need-to-Know page. Anything from a swag to a camping trailer will keep you comfortable while your body recovers. Real estate is at a premium so smaller tents or a larger team tent works best. Soloists using the Event Logistics Vehicle are asked to avoid large swags to ensure there is enough room for everyone's gear.
We are building a brand new Pipeline Challenge website with everything you need for 2027. Watch this space.
