GC100 2011
Postby hosko » Mon Jun 27, 2011 9:54 pm
Looks to be on again this year, not to be confused with the Brisband - GC ride which is a month later.
I will be trying to get the day off from the family so I can participate. Looks to be not a flat compared to the quite flat B2GC ride.
Interested to see how many Bris/GC people will be doing this one.

The 100 km ride starts and finishes on the Broadwater and meanders through the hinterland.
Starts at 0 elevation and goes up to 125 m - total climb 851, total descent 853. (must finish underwater)
The 50 km starts and finishes ditto but stays out of the hills.
Did anyone here do the last one?

I can't open it either. I'm just getting some old cached pages. It looks like GC100.org site is down.ldrcycles wrote:I can't get that site to open? Sounds like a really good ride, fingers crossed i'll be able to do it.
The registration page works though:-

The confirmation email came from - marktany@qld.chariot.net.au

It is a great ride, got some good feedback from experienced riders.
If you send enquiry from site (when back up) I can add you to mail list, or better still register for event.
Thanks
Mark

#1: Not as crowded as the Brisi - Gold Coast
#2: Quite challenging.
The hills were breathtaking at times and surprised me and the SE on the way back in also hurt a bit. It was well organised and we got some Breaky and a T-Shirt at the end of the ride.
I recommend that you do this ride if you can!

Got C566 as my registration number. No idea if that means already 566 people have signed up or not as yet??
A few of the guys at work road the course last week. It is challenging according to them so when it asked what time will you do it in, I elected the slowest possible just in case.
Will be my first charity ride! Now to shed some KG for those hills in 4 weeks time. Would like 10kg off before then.

When you are 110kg there are bloody hills!!Comedian wrote: Mate...there aren't any hills
But yes I agree, there really isn't is there.... (mind over matter)
Beachmont this weekend, if I can push that then I can push this. Have toned up heaps, just get rid of the kg!
A_P I think the idea is that everyone who has a crack majority will finish rather than taking around 2 full size buses as Sag Wagons

Doesn't look too bad to me actually, i can only really see 2 big hills on it, the rest i would just call rolling (without having actually seen it).notwal wrote:

Re: GC100 2011 - What to take?
Postby hosko » Fri Aug 19, 2011 7:18 am
Nutrition for something like this? What do people generally take with them on course?
Yes it's only 100km, but it's not flat like BNE-GC so some effort is going to need to be made during this ride.
I was personally thinking something like a nut bar (granola bar..etc) maybe? Sustained energy?
Also for the people who did this last year, what was available at the checkpoint/water stations. My guess would be you can refill water bottles there however anything else available (gatorade...etc)

For a 100k+ ride I'll take 2 bottles and something that wont melt in my back pocket that's a little sweet - usually some scotch finger biscuits is enough to fuel mehosko wrote: Nutrition for something like this? What do people generally take with them on course?

Just to clarify, there are hills, some very decent gradients too. I got up to 16% a couple of times on the ride so it is nothing like the Brisi - GC ride later on. So, get your climbing legs on if you are going to do this ride. The good thing is though is that the hills are in the middle third of the ride so you are warm by the time you hit the first wall at Mugeereba.ldrcycles wrote:Doesn't look too bad to me actually, i can only really see 2 big hills on it, the rest i would just call rolling (without having actually seen it).notwal wrote:

Did you do the Ride the Range in Toowoomba earlier this year? How do you think it compares to that? I had expected that one to be one super fast downhill at the start, one super steep climb at the end and perfectly flat in between but i was really surprised by how big and steep some of the hills in the valley were.the_clydesdale wrote:Just to clarify, there are hills, some very decent gradients too.
