SUN RIDE - PAIN IS A WAY OF LIFE

SUN 08/05 BIG HILLS

Belair - Hahndorf

Meet @ 7.30am City


As a result of requests for longer harder rides and different climbs...your getting it this Sunday. This will hurt and i'll be in more pain then most (some Bastard's having his 60th the night before). Read description below and know what route your doing when you rock up. Options for 90, 75, 65km. Only 90km for the long ride but your legs are going to file for a restraining order after this abuse.


All MEET in the City @ 7.30am.

Two options to get to Hahndorf - Two Options to get home.

All meet at Hahndorf for coffee.


The harder route has a steep climb and is a little longer to Sterling. Saddle Hill is the climb - easier then checkers more of a long grind then a smash fest (most BG will be fine). Both options home form Hahndorf will climb a section of road from Verdun to Carey Gully that runs parallel to Greenhill (Beaumont Rd - Gum Flat Rd).
