Well? Who's doing it? Thinking of doing it...

Where's the profile on BV?! Irritating! Is it not full yet? A bit expensive the registration, my European standard coming out here.



Edit: found the profile. Not going, done the AAC.

I would love to but I am stuck in lousy ol' Perth

In Perth, we don't really have hills. Well, not like those anyway.

Thanks Ken. Why don't they link it directly from the ride's page?

Its linked from the course details page. Prolly don't want to scare people off
I'd rather do the ACE. Don't like the idea of a downhill start from Falls and even less an uphill finish up back of Falls

I've seen the profile plenty of times (some bike mags i have sitting in the toilet). How much is registration?

The profile is not that scary really.

Is that indicativeof your opinion of the mag or the profile
$150 for the full event or you can do half the ride for $120 plus another $30 for the shuttle makes... $150!

Perth's most challenging ride is the 5 dams challenge... http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/BW ... -Challenge

Load the map and click on "Elevation Profile" under "Show". It's a bit a joke really. Maxing out at about 350m. Total climbing is only 1872m. I wonder how much climbing there is in 3 peaks for comparison.

I'd estimate about 4500m.
Hotham and Dinner Plain was about 2400m for a round trip. Then add Falls and Tawonga Gap

*yawn* sounds like a walk in the park...

I know some others doing it Brendan and Matt De Neef... You may know Matt as the Climbing Cyclist

yep, heard of him. Read some of his blogs.

Just another point... Matt and Brendan are heading up to Bright next weekend.

I said bv people , not elmo or pickle...

I'll be happily popping pills all the way.

Yes, that'll be very tough, doing 10-15% for the first 2kms, after 200kms in your legs including climbing Hotham ! I can assure you it was damned hard on the ACE.

Were you the person I saw with a big saddle bag and a handlebar bag, paused on the side of the road having a snack, 2 - 3 km before the top of Hotham?

Someone tell me, when is this weenie event taking place?
