We reckon this has the potential to be our biggest event yet with loads of champagne gravel in close proximity to the wider Sydney and Newcastle regions. The locals are absolutely frothing over this one and cannot wait to showcase their local trails to the Graveleur Community!Added to that we will be curating some of the finest local craft brewers to put on a beer festival at the finish of both days. This will be more of the same chilled social gravel cycling, blue ribbon support, and meticulous organisation that you have come to expect from Graveleur.Saturday will feature 3 loops of approximately30/60/100km, starting and finishing at theSmall Batch Brewery and Hop Farmjust outside Mudgee NSW.Sunday everyone rides the60kmcourse starting and finishing atThe Globe Hotelin the centre of Rylstone NSW. Short course riders are welcome to turn back to Rylstone at any point and proceed to the beer garden and the finish.The area is relatively flat being over the great dividing range so the distances will not be as taxing as some of our other event locations.Check out the course options athttps://graveleur.cc/marys-mayhem-course-optionsThis is Marys MayhemMary Ann Bugg is the inspiration for Marys Mayhem.
