Climb all 7 Peaks to ascend more than 7,000 metres over 160 kilometres.
Meet the Sparkler of the 7 Peaks Challenge group. Something special awaits those that conquer Lake Mountain's tough first half. Tarmac turns to silk, the legs turn into diamonds and you feel like you could ride forever. Chase your PB past ferns and towering Ash all the way to the finish.
Your 20.9 kilometre ride starts from the vibrant village of Marysville. Climb 932 metres of elevation with a grade average of 4% and grade max of 10% to finish at Lake Mountain Alpine Village. Only 90 minutes from Melbourne, this is often the first of the 7 Peaks cyclists' tick off the list.
