The route is a climb up Norton Summit Norton Summit then a further shorter climb up Woods Hill Rd (I assume) to Greenhill Rd and a nice descent with awesome views of the city.Welsh Dragon wrote:East end of mall- near ??? Any particular shop/ cafe etc ?
What type of route is it ?
Norton summit is about 5.5 km (AT) 5%, a tad steeper on a couple of hairpins but only for a short distance. A group I ride with use the route for their slow/medium riders and everyone manages to getup, stronger riders can attack it if they so desire.

37000 people travelled to SA for the TDU. Never seen so many bike boxes at an airport?

Too modest, your descent of Greenhill was a sight to behold, awesome trying to follow you, although passing the red Mitsi was outside my league. I could sense the driver thinking the bikes would slow her down, she got that one wrong

Crikey! I thought it was blue.
What do the red traffic lights mean again?
