Garmin King of the Mountain and Queen of the Mountain
Fastest male and fastest female from Mirimbah
to the picturesque Mt Buller Alpine Village.

Entry
As part of the 2013 SCODY High Country Cycle Challenge, all riders who enter the 180km, 165km and 100km Ride Options will automatically be entered into the Garmin King or Queen of the Mountain.

Timing
What's your best time climbing up Mt Buller? Can you match the benchmark of 39.50 set by Simon Gerrans in 2008? Now you can find out!

With thanks to Mt Buller Alpine Resort Management Board, this year’s event will again see some great timing technology. ALL riders will be supplied with a transponder at registration, by Castech Sports Technology, to fit to your bike. When you ride through the 'start' line at the base of Mt Buller, the clock will start timing your ride.

Once you get to the Mt Buller Alpine Village, the clock will record your time. It will be an official record of your time up Mt Buller; so you can compare yourself against Simon Gerrans’ time, against your mates, and see your improvement from year to year during the Cycle Challenge.




Times will be posted on this page after the ride up and we'll try to have the times on display while you're grabbing a bite to eat during your lunch break on the mountain.

Don't forget … when you finish your ride you'll need to return your transponder to Castech. They'll have a return bin both on Mt Buller (for the 180km ride) and in Mansfield (for all the other rides).
