SUN RIDE - BIG HILLS 28/11

Meet @ Hindmarsh Sq @ 7.30am or;
Tower Hotel @ 8.00am.

For something a bit different the ride is going to finish with coffee on the Parade. The intent is to get the ride finished earlier, with short cut options and the option to skip coffee.

This one’s going to hurt! Not a long ride, but a hard ride! Lots of short cut options, but both the 'pain lives here' and 'harden up' routes will have you doing some hard climbing, and the intent is that, you will be cursing my name by the time you reach Lofty! Some real climbs in the mix here; Norton’s, Ashton, Forest Range, Greenhill Rd and Summit Rd to Lofty just to check you have nothing left to give! We’ll have a group leader for each route and the intent is that the groups should be fairly close to one another by the time we get back to Norwood.

If you are intending to do the Tour Down Under ride the time to start training is long gone with only 8 Sun rides left till the TDU ride and 7 till Ride like Crazy, add Christmas to the mix, and....get on your bike stat!!! It's time to start ramping up your training, and getting some long hard km's into your legs. FS
