This inaugural Entoure cycle classic took place from 7 to 9 March 2008. It consisted of 53 incredible riders, many riding for seven corporate teams. During the three-day event, the riders covered 400 kilometres. The stunning Hunter Valley provided a breathtaking backdrop to what will become an annual Entoure pilgrimage.

You Made It Happen 

We achieved what we did through collective effort. It could not have been possible without the support of our riders, sponsors and donors, and road crew (see below). Special thanks go to them all!
