 Sundays Ride is No Excuses 0102 - Outer Harbor via Anzac Hwy home via Port Rd

Given everyone hit the carbon-fibre horse hard last week we will schedule an easier week with a no excuses flat ride. The weather report for Sunday morning looks nice and cool on the current forecast, 16 degrees with light winds from the south to kick off. Given winds are from the south we will reverse the direction to give us a push to OH.

This weekend is a weekend of obligation in my house with the WWE Royal Rumble on early Sunday morning. That means pizza, corn chips and red-wine for dinner. Yay!

I drove the Epic course today so will have some notes to discuss on Sunday. Some key ones

1.    The first true hill we hit is the bottom of Flagstaff Hill and this is a wall. Only a couple of hundred metres but it will be chaos

2.    The route is undulating even when descending

3.    Flagstaff Hill, Wickhams Hill, Gemmell Rd are the main climbs. With Wickhams being the hardest

4.    There are a couple of walls and pinches at Meadows, Church Hill Rd Echunga and Military Rd after the first pass through Nairne
