The Mount Buffalo Team Relay will provide you with an unforgettable climb of Mt Buffalo. Teams will comprise of 5 riders. Just like a relay on an athletics track, team riders will be spaced evenly along the Mt Buffalo climb. Riders will start in order of fastest to slowest. Teams must finish with all riders intact at the finish line. Teams will be randomly chosen - with riders seeded based upon Mt Buffalo strava PB's. Faster riders will ride more of the climb, with the fastest riders in each team riding the whole climb, but must not drop any riders as they pick up fellow team riders on the way up.
