Hi,
Enjoying reading the forum which i have just recently joined.
Pretty much amateur here being doing a few rides on tracks around town of late.
Ride 2001 Giant Boulder SE MTB.
Couple of days ago did ride - Gundaroo to Murrumbateman via Yass River Rd, Greenwood Rd (?) and Hillview into Murrumbateman with return to Gundaroo via Dicks Creek and Tass River rd. total 67kms - a rcord for me.
Found it hard going but loved it (apart from a few bad corrugations on unsealed part).
Took me 4hrs 40min in saddle with 30min break at Murrumbateman.... walked the ends of a few hills as didnt want to overdo it on my longest ride ever!
Thinking of heading down coast CBR ,QBN, Captains Flat, Majors Creek finishing Moruya. Thinking to do it over 3 days so about 55km per day...
Anyone comment of terrain of latter ride visa via the former and am I biting of too much ? I have done a couple of 50-60k rides round lakes etc in CBR lately which i suspect are lot easier but done those at about 18km /hr so figure I can cover 55km rough in a full day !
I am not interested in speed but rather enjoying the ride and scenery.
Your comments appreciated.
Thank you .
