Start of the climb
Had a great day out attempting the clockwise Hoddles then Kiama coastal. Firstly my plans turned upside down when I realized my camelbak bladder was still in the fridge at home which meant I'd have to ride an unknown loop for an unknown amount of time in knoweresevile with bottles. My bike can only carry one cage so that meant one bottle in the jersey and less of lifes essentials. Being Mr Snake paranoia means 2 bandages and a 1st aid kit take most available space and the phone the rest. So off I went hoping for no flats or mechanicals!

Gerroa Coast & Hinterland
The meeting times are 'ready to ride'. If you need time to prepare equipment then please arrive a few minutes earlier.
This is a retrospective meet.

39t big ring just didn't cut it!
Thought the blur deserved a run at it despite only having the 26/39 XX crankset
The thing rolls like its on ice!
Bigger big ring would've helped a lot, having said that though, legs were pretty jelly by the end...
Solo effort whilst being a tour barbie for some n00bs

Gotta crack the hour......
Not much to say apart from having to skid about 20 yards in front of a horse and start again with apologies. Gotta go harder on the return leg.
Splits:
16:48 to the turn
29:33 lookout
43:05 to the turn
63:08 - bugger!!!
