Hurt Box 70

The Hurt Box 70 is Centennial Park Cycling Club's annual road bike challenge. 

The Hurt Box 70 is a challenging combination of rolling hills and long, leg burning climbs around West Head and Akuna Bay. Starting and finishing at McCarrs Creek Reserve, the ride covers 72km and 1450m of climbing. It is an individual challenge, not a race. Entry includes a post ride BBQ.

The course includes 1 loop of Akuna Bay and two out and back loops of West Head road. For the course route and profile go to https://www.strava.com/routes/23483817

There is parking and toilet facilities at the start/finish.

Riders will start in waves and will be paced from the start up to the right hand turn onto West Head Rd. Please take care on all descents, especially the descent to West Head lookout. Descend within your capabilities at all times. You are expected to be self sufficient for the ride, including food and spares. Drinking water is available at the start/finish and on the course at the Marina car park, just near the little bridge. Toilets are located at the start/finish and the picnic grounds toward the end of West Head Rd and also at the Marina.
