The Tenterfield - Harrigans Lane day ride is a 120 km single day ride, 52% of the 120 km are unpaved farm and gravel roads. The elevation gain of the route is just over 2200m. The highest point on the route is 1124m above sea level with a maximum ascending gradient of 18% and maximum descending gradient of 22%. The rating of this route is Intermediate with difficult sections. There are wide, smooth surfaced roads relatively free from obstacles. However, the distance and gradients make for a challenging ride. It uses 100% public roads and experiences moments of infrequent traffic and some long stretches of B-road highway. This route is manageable for those with a reasonable level of fitness and requires a basic level of handling. The steep descents and rutted roads will pose a challenge to those who are new to cycling.

If you take on this large day of cycling, you will be rewarded with some excellent terrain that will feel like it was purpose built for cycling. When you hit the Timbarra National Park you will experience some sandy, double track and relatively steep country before rolling into the quiet valley that houses Boorook Station - a perfect winding road that oozes charm and peacefulness.

There is a spectacular swimming spot at kilometre 71 by the Boonoo Boonoo River which will give you the life back you need in order to climb the Harrigans Lane ascent - so steep it has been paved, which may still not give the average cyclist enough traction and will likely need to be walked.

The friendly gradients home along the Mount Lindesay Road will help you roll back into Tenterfield after a long day.
