ANGLERS REST TO FALLS CREEK (BACK OF FALLS)
This ride begins in a sleepy hollow known as Anglers Rest and forms the last part of the 3 Peaks ride (Peaks Challenge Falls Creek). It starts with a short undulating 11km, before you turn at "WTF Corner" and up to the ski village of Falls Creek. At this point it heads uphill quickly with the first few minutes at 14%, before dropping back to an average of 10% for the first 8km. Once you pass the 12.9km mark (Trapyard Gap) the ride becomes considerably easier, but still has pinches at 10%, but there are small down hill sections and false flats.
