Sat 25th Steeper Nongs

[Perry Brown]

A selection of the steeper climbs in the Nongs this week including the infamous Terry’s Avenue! However there’s plenty of options to bypass or avoid most of the climbs if so inclined and we will re-group at the top of each climb.
The full itinerary departs Ashy station at 06:30 and heading out High St and Burwood Hwy to Belgrave. TL onto
– Terrys Avenue; 3.2 km at 7.4% (but take out the 1km of flat/downhill and the rest works out to 10.7%). TL onto the Tourist road and descend to Tremont and TR onto
– Churchill Ave and OTH; 2.2 km at 7.4%. Descend via Sherbrooke rd and TL at Kallista then KL onto
– Perrins Creek Rd; 2.5km at 7.3%. Cross the Tourist rd and ascend
– Olinda Crescent; 0.63km at 9.7%. Descend the Tourist rd and Inverness ave and do a U turn and climb
– Inverness Ave; 2.6km at 9.1%. Continue up the Tourist rd and KR onto
– Ridge Rd to Skyhigh; 1.8km at 7.3% then descend to Svaks for coffee.
Return home via Mountain Hwy and Highbury.
Hope to see you tomorrow………Perry

Great menu Perry – I’ll choose the entree, Main & maybe desert tomorrow !! See you at the start line.

Ouch! We’ll start taking the handle bar tape off to lighten the bike, maybe remove every second spoke as well.

Nice to do something a little different.

Cheers, Richard

Not sure what we did wrong to deserve this, Perry! Not sure of my crimes but I’ll do some of the time. 🙂
Entree & Main course for me.

Wow big response already – hope the weather holds.
