Starting in Tenterfield, the route leaves town behind and heads north through quiet country backroads and gravel, crossing the NSW–Queensland border and exploring the rural landscapes between two of Australia's great high-country cycling regions. Rather than taking the direct highway between Tenterfield and Stanthorpe, this ride turns the journey into an adventure. Expect rolling terrain, gravel roads, farmland, forests and plenty of climbing as the route winds its way through the border country. The destination is Stanthorpe, the heart of Queensland's Granite Belt — a region known for its cool climate, granite landscapes, orchards, vineyards and country towns. It makes a pretty great place to finish a day on the bike, refuel and settle in before continuing the adventure. Over two days, the distance is achievable for experienced gravel and bikepacking riders while still providing a proper sense of travelling somewhere by bike.

Designed to be ridden over approximately 3–5 days, this is a proper journey rather than simply a long gravel ride. The route links quiet country roads, gravel, forest tracks and off-road sections as riders travel through rugged granite country, farmland, forests and small rural communities. The scale of the ride gives you time to properly experience this part of northern NSW.
