edit: well done to the man who was coming up with panniers while i was coming back down between 6:30 - 7:00
edit: adding my polar (s 710i i.e. not gps and not accelerometer based measurement, think it works on air pressure .... so accuracy?)
altitude and cadence graph
A - start of bike track lynton end
B - I rode up too high a gear (you might be able to see my cadence dropped from 60 down to below 30 before I stopped). Had to come back down and go back up in a lower (lowest 34/25) gear. still couldn't do it and the little flat(black) cadence spot between B and C after the 5km mark is where i walked up the hill.
C - top of the bike track
D - top of Carolina (so i went left onto Carolina instead of continuing right on high st). I also walked up that last steep bit of carolina, that 0 cadence black line starts just before the peak.
D to E was just me having a ride around up there .... very hilly
E - top of carolina
F - top of bike track
G - bottom of bike track.

Just a note, i went down shepards hill rd after then came back up shepards hill and it certainly did not seem as hard. But first hill always seems to hurt the most.

The damaged sections have already been cut ready to be repaired, so take it easy going down.

Hit over 65km/hr and that was just on Caroline Ave before I even hit the bike path proper.
Then, after the first hairpin turn on the bike path (not signed well), holy hell batman, I hit 73.9km/hr before realising it and used the front disc well to slow me a bit for the big sweeper after the steep section.
No wonder it's such an absolute bugger to get up it !!!
They REALLY should have some warning sisgns that there is a STEEP descent ahead

On one of the descents I came around the corner at speed to see a walker strolling along cluelessly up my side of the track!! Got the heart pumping more than the ride up! So be careful on the descent, both for loose gravel and clueless punters!

Better legs than I'll ever havebuzz wrote:Finally rode the track! Was a tad disappointed as was expecting it to be a bit steeper from what I had read here. Was far from impressed with the amount of gravel that has been washed onto track! Rode four laps of the track to get the legs pumping, hopefully next time I will have more time to see how many laps I can manage!!

Oh shucks, thanks! That will help motivate me to get up at 4am Monday morning!! I love riding and being fit. I was planning going back this week and seeing how many laps I can do before I pass out!!!
