Jenolan Caves Super Mega Huge Enormous HTFU Epic!
Postby leximack » Wed Oct 19, 2011 9:09 pm
Here we have a doozy
Jenolan Caves and return, 300+ km and 4000m climbing.
Meet Point: Bubbler on the m7 cycleway
Time: 5.30am
When: Sat 5th November
Goal: Ride our human powered bicycles to Jenolan Caves and return
Stop Points: When we feel like it
How Fast: Steadish pace
Who can come: If you havent done atleast a 200km ride and survived then this isnt the ride for you
from the bubbler to Jenolan caves its 140km so 280 return. Add whatever distance you need to get to the bubbler (if your soft you may wish to drive and park your vehicle near by) but then you will not achieve 300km and therefore will stillbe deemed "soft" by your peers
Bail out Points: There will be none, we're going the full distance (speak to me personally about bail out options )
So whos in?

Thats a crazy ride. 160 is the most i've ridden so I fail the prerequisites already.
Will still try and work on a ride pass but i believe that might be mission impossible.
Have fun fellows !!!!

Don, No bigger fan of a good HTFU than the writer however I'm concerned you might be a bit too early in my rebuilding stage. See how I go if I do Sunday's Enduro and how I shape up if I can do a ride to other side of Victoria Pass and home before Nov 5th.leximack wrote:ok fans of HTFU
When: Sat 5th November
Remember 5th Nov is Guy Fawkes day, would prefer not to explode (or implode) like old Guy had in mind in 1605

ps legs still sore after Tuesday night's minor exertions

Chuck, I don't understand? Broken bike? You're taking a huge risk riding a Shimano equipped bike on that sort of ride.Giant Rider wrote:

Two points arise from the ride.
1. The road works between Woodford and Wentworth Falls currently provide the "thinnest" edge to ride on that I have experienced in the three years I have been riding this road. Not good at all when trucks have to pass! There are those temporary concrete barriers on your left so absolutely no where to go if you get squeezed.
2. It is already very hot up there for a big day out. Might have left it a bit late for such a serious effort.
Sounds a bit like NFS may be having second thoughts don't you think
