Hi all, unfortunately due to DoC's failure to replace the swingbridge on the St James national cycletrail we've had to cancel the 2023 Pony Express.
As such we've decided to introduce a new short course option of around 35km - The Mad Cow.
This will be a easy course starting and finishing at the St James homestead finish zone. It will headout the Peters valley track, onto the Edwards 4x4 track and proceeding down the Edwards valley, passing close by the Cow creek hot springs to the furthermost point at Scotties camp. Then returning back up the Edwards 4x4 track following the Pony Express and Epic route back to the finish.
