SUN RIDE - PAIN IS A WAY OF LIFE

SUN 09/10 BIG HILLS

Belair - Hahndorf
Meet @ 8:00am City

Righteo! Time to get serious, Amy's Ride is four weeks away. Last time we did this, Frank was still recovering from his Dad's 60th the night before, this time around he's been getting ready for the Crit season, either way you know he'll make you hurt.

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. Two options to get to Hahndorf - Plenty of options to get home (probably best sorted out in Hahndorf). 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). AW

See below for route directions - map

PAIN IS TEMPORARY 75km
Old Freeway - Sterling - Mylor - River Rd - Hahndorf (coffee) 35km
Verdun - Beaumont Rd - Gum Flat Rd - Carey Gully - Summertown - Greenhill. 30km
SHORT CUT: back thru Mylor - Sterling - Old Freeway (-2km easier climb)

PAIN IS A WAY OF LIFE 90km
Belair - Saddle Hill Rd (Steep) - Sterling - Mylor - River Rd - Hahndorf (coffee) 40km
Verdun - Beaumont Rd - Gum Flat Rd - Carey Gully - Deviation Rd - Forest Range - Ashton - Marble Hill - Montacute. 50km
SHORT CUT: From Carey Gully - Summertown - Greenhill (-20km)

Bit late on the ball but it should be said: congrats to Sam on his performance in the Jim Pascoe 130 Handicap, taking 10th overall. A race to hard for any other BG to rock up too, and a hard first handicap for anyone. Check the course, 130km total, 2xWickhams climbs, Pennys Hill finish (Willunga hills ugly sister), I bonk on this beast last year when the race was graded!

But considering Sam opened his racing account with a two day, three stage race, taking out the final Time Trial, little less can be expected from him! All the best to Sam in the crits this summer - till he gets to A grade! FS
