Spectators
Stage 1
If you want to see the riders on course, we recommend getting out of there before the race briefing and stage starts at 9am.
Stage 1 is around 45km, so we suggest getting into the middle of the course early where you can see some of the action.
Head to the bottom of Greenhill Road and the intersection with Diana Rd coming from the Augusta township side and park then walk up Greenhill and into the course. Here you will see one of the most spectacular descents in Stage 1 amidst the beautiful Karri trees and a nice single trail that runs off to the north.
If you get out there early enough, you’ll see the elite riders and be amazed at the speed that they come down this section of the course. Once you have seen your riders go through this section you can cheer on the others before heading back to the finish line at the Lighthouse. Enjoy the rugged ocean scenery and enjoy a bite to eat and drink along with the rider’s stories from Stage 1. Please be cautious of road closures heading back into the race village. The parking shuttle service may be delayed due to rider movement.
Stage 2
It’s the second year of the Nannup stage so there no wonder you want to check out all the action and see where the stories from year one came from!!
The best spectator points for today, is at the Nannup Tank 7 Mountain Bike Park.
The Cape to Cape team have arranged a spectator shuttle bus operating from the parking shuttle service drop off location (near the start line car park) and from the Tank 7 Bike Park, to avoid congestion and parking issues. This shuttle will be running from 9:00am to approx. 12:00pm to and from the spectator point. Please utilise this shuttle for on course viewing, we do not recommend spectators taking their vehicles out to the course as this could impact the safety of the riders and the general public.
Of course, Foreshore Park is a great spectator point with our riders starting and finishing in the same location. Why not watch them leave, grab a coffee and breakfast in town and then come back to watch them cross the finish line. Enjoy a CBCo. Beers at our C2C Nannup Bar while you wait!
Stage 3
The CBCo. stage is the most difficult one for spectators as the trails we use to get out to and back from are difficult to access by car. It is important that spectators stay off the course on this stage as the few roads that we do use are still open to traffic and spectators in these areas can cause risk management issues with other road users.
Instead, we encourage you to send off your riders from CBCo. and stay and enjoy the surroundings of the brewery. There will be coffee and breakfast options, bring the kids down, there's a great playground to entertain them and plenty of space for them to run around!
Stage 4
The best place to view all the action for Stage Four is at Wise Winery – Eagle Bay. While at Wise Winery you will be able to access the start line and finish line!
The Stage Four course will be the fastest day out on the trails which will make it difficult to catch up with the riders out on the course.
There is also limited access/parking along the course, so please don’t try and chase the race. Stage 4 is all about the atmosphere and good vibes with plenty of action taking place just minutes away from the start/finish line. So, grab your mates, enjoy the food and beverage offerings at Wise Wine and cheer on your riders as they conquer the brand new Stage 4 alignment. Bring a picnic and set yourself up on the grassed area for the presentations with a glass of Wise Wine.
Wise Winery are also offering rides and spectators free wine and gin tasting while waiting for your riders! Check out the cellar door for more information.
