TIMING
The Big Yellow Pipeline Challenge isn’t 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.
ACCOMMODATION
Fancy a few nights under the stars? Well that’s what you get to enjoy while conquering the Big Yellow Pipeline Challenge. We will be camping on the local recreation grounds in Southern Cross, Merredin and Northam but first we’ll start off 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.
You will need to bring all of your own camping gear as suggested in the Gear list. Anything from a swag to a camping trailer should keep you nice and cozy while your body recovers. Real estate will be at a premium so smaller tents or a larger team tent will work best. We ask Soloists utilising the Event Logistics Vehicle to refrain from bringing large swags so we can ensure there is enough room for everyone’s gear.
