Details:

I plan on doing The Oaks up & back as a training ride as the trails on the Beaches could do with more time to dry out. I am not sure of exactly how long but have put 4 hours as a guess.

2.5 hours is pretty quick and 3.5 is slow. Depends on how strong your legs are and whether or not you like to stop frequently.
Times are from train station and return.

It now a low of 0°C Saturday morning. Wear your layers but being an uphill grind to start with I'm sure we'll warm up quickly Smiling.

I'm doing my best to sell this one Eye-wink

The detail is now there and it will be about 7°C so not all that bad warming to 18°C so looking pretty good.

Thanks for the ride guys. I was pretty shattered at the end causing a stupid off on the technical section as I just had nothing left at all. At least the bike was ok and and only lost a bit of skin on both legs. Came close to beating my time for the helipad to the gate but just not to be (Lap 7 below).

Thanks for the ride guys, hope the legs come up strong this week. I did have the benefit of doing the climb the previous weekend as well Smiling

Anyhow, after so much average weather recently it was one of those perfect winter days. Loved the chase down from the helipad and to break the 8 mins.
