New and improved for 2024, now with 50% less mud! The 3rd annual run for the piglet features a mix of road and some tough gravel sectors (now with pig ratings - see notes on Ride with GPS). The infamous Faywell Hole has been deleted, but some mud is always possible. If you're confident, ride the whole 98 km route including the 5 pig Short Hills single track. Or, take the easy line and follow the Tro Bro NSH route (Not So Tough? No Short Hills?) at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/48192820 - it's the same distance and climbing (about).

Llamas were present as of Aug 30, but remember, past results are not an indicator of future performance. Tro Bro is a hilly ride with some challenging gravel sections - ask your doctor if Tro Bro is right for you. Here are the long route gravel sectors:
S1 (4 Pigs) Fire Escape 0 - 2.8 km; S2 (1 Pig) Lake Gibson 21.5 - 22.3 km; S3 (5 Pigs) Short Hills 27.3 - 31.7 km; S4 (2 Pigs) Sulphur Springs 36.5 - 41.3 km; Cafe @ 58.7 km; S5 (2 Pigs) Bauer Bumps 62.6- 67.0 km; S6 (1 Pig) Hydro 70.2 - 73.2 km; S7 (2 Pigs) Tanbark 90.2 - 93.2 km. Total 22.3 km unpaved = 20%
