The second annual Chain Reaction Challenge will be a seven day, 1,000 km ride from Canberra to Melbourne held between 8 and 14 March, 2008.

The first two days of the ride will be particularly long and hard as we start in Canberra on Saturday and head north to Yass before sweeping west to Gundagai where we'll be stopping on the first night. Day two is a 180 km day and through some challenging countryide as we head from Gundagai down to Corryong. Day three is Corryong to Beechworth before heading down to picturesque Mansfield on the fourth day, with a quick stop at Dal Zotto Estate winery along the way. On day five we'll be joined by a range of Chain Reaction alumni, sponsors and supporters for the chellenging ride up Mt Buller where we'll enjoy a celebratory dinner to thank our sponsors and supporters and to celebrate having made it through the hardest part of the ride. Day six sees the riders view the fun side of Mt Buller, descending through Mansfield and on to Alexandra (Stoneleigh) before the final day from Alexandra to Melbourne, via Kinglake.
