Anyone do it, some frickin climbing involved in that 80K loop, organisers are sadistic.

Bloody loved it!

It was dusty! Never seen that before 🙂

4 mikes and 1000 feet, now theres a warm up for you.

How grim was the first tarmac climb, nearly puked up a lung!

“saw a rider in a singletrack jersey as well.”
Grey long sleeved one, on a red and white stumpy FSR?

have not cleared it yet! first 2 years, spd users dismounting randomly 🙁

today, mobile road block from walking riders on both sides of the road,no space to ride thru

did warm up the legs…………… :/

random spd user made it up the 1st climb, past all the pushers in flats 😆
telling people you are coming thru helps, if they can hear you over the sound of the blood pumping past their ears

I was toing and froing with a geezer who was easily 20 years older than me, and I’m 48… He was still riding into town as we were driving away so he must’ve done the 70km, good riding old fella!

shifter, were u the looney on a fully rigid single speeder?

I certainly wasn’t! He overtook me like I was stood still 🙁

Any results or pics anywhere?

Pics should appear soon hopefully, check facebook for links.

I was there for the first time doing the 55/60km – really enjoyed it, first climb was a monster though! Looking forward to the pics

right place right time will have the pics up in a couple of days.

Did the 55k and really enjoyed it, was going well until thigh cramp got me round by Cilcain, but still finished and had a good time.
