Your route merges with the final 120 km of the MTB 400 | 10 K route. Those Raiders would have already done more than 8,000 meters of climbing... Do not expect the second half of the MTB Raid 200 to be flat as you make your way to the Eastern Escarpment of the Highlands. But it will be one of the most rewarding rides!
