Dome did commando course in reverse yesterday. I am told it was reverse. Anti clockwise makes more sense to me.

hobart, bonnet, blackmans bay, tinder box - chuck a u turn once you hit the gravel, left at blackmans bay to howden, margate, longley, hobart
i have heard that the REAL COMMANDO is the same but you just go on the gravel from tinderbox to howden

there 3 Cammoand myths
1 - clock wise or anti clock wise
2 - route
3 - where did the name come from
these things cannot be debated as there are no answers and that is why there is sooo much prestige

Perhaps it should be renamed, to accurately reflect the position.
I suggest it be known as "The Dogs Breakfast"

As far as I know the commando loop is up strickland to nieka, you can then go via leslie rd and back down to kingston or continue via longley and margate. What you have mentioned is the tinderbox loop.BarryTas wrote:

Also I disagree with the best coffee in Hobart. But that is my preference.

and you would do it in the dead of nightRobRollin wrote:The clockwise Commando is harder going from the city, over Bonnett, Mount Royal Rd, Blackmans Bay, Howden, Margate, Sandfly, Longley, Neika, Strickland, city. Thats the hardest way to ride with a 15km climb from Margate to Neika.

What about a Midnight ride over the REAL Commando course, including Mt Wellington?
Would we be back too early for a Dome breakfast?
