Wheelbarrow Ridge Road?

Submitted by Rob on Tue, 11/12/2007 - 12:02.

This looks like a bit of fun, anyone game?

It's up near Wisemans Ferry, although you would be driving up to Lower Portland via Windsor most likely. Looks like a nice training ride for 100K events. Smiling



I am keen

for a ride up there sometime after christmas. There appears to be a interesting spike at about 28mile in.

Don't see whay not (no2)

But the big question is when?????

Looks like the calendar is really full until mid-late January. I think we may have to start real early to avoid the heat too like 6ish.

Looks like there is some short sharp climbs too!!

Interesting indeed

67km is a long way. Possibly too long for this little black duck. I agree with Andrew, this may be a late January or February ride. The next month is pretty full guys.

I think that this 28km spike must be an error. Otherwise, I will need to get a shuttle run to the top. Eye-wink

But I bet the downhill stretches will be awesome! I am glad most of the hill climbing is on the first half of the ride. Do we know of any locals that can tell us anything about this track?

Its not that bad

when you click on the dashboard icon his time comes up for the ride of only 3:46:39 and an average speed of 17.9kmph very doable

....67 km is only three Terry Hills. If you wore the correct amount of Lycra you would S%&t it in Cool

I like it!

No Sleepover? Australia Day?

Submitted by Rob on Thu, 13/12/2007 - 07:44.

Hmmmm... this is a good plan, but by the time you've packed up and farted about how much time would you really save?

Google says the start is 1h35m drive for me, and it's often faster than they say (strangely Eye-wink) so 6am rise should see us on the trail 8:30, which will make for a hot ride but is doable, non?

Controversial - how about doing this on Australia day? I'd imagine people have plans that weekend so tell me to stop being silly! Sticking out tongue

Pikey, this home brew looses the alcohol but not the yeast

"Once the yeast is added to the cooled beer, you should bottle and cap as you normally would." second last paragraph.

Sorry Rob.

Way too much time

Submitted by Harry on Thu, 13/12/2007 - 11:48.

Stuart you have way too much time on your hands

No, just have to help a mate in search of beer.

Submitted by Stuart M on Thu, 13/12/2007 - 13:25.

Submitted by Caro on Thu, 13/12/2007 - 20:41.
