No steep hills on the 100k, just lots of rolling hills...lots!BrisVegas wrote:
Thanks Lisa, I'm looking forward to it. Are there any steep hills, or is it more rolling hills? ie. anything like Cootha or the Gateway?
Hopefully I can find a bunch doing 25-30km/h to join onto.
One climb but fairly gentle, nothing like Coot-tha.
It will be the wind, if it's blowing from the s/se, it will be mostly a head wind but it will be at our backs for the run back into Ipswich
I'll look out for you at the start, I'll be there early as Mr MM is heading off at 6 with the 100mile ride...I'll be riding my black Scott!

My previous longest ride was the Coot-tha challenge at 85k's so I'm progressing well
Lots of sensible riding... nice warm sunny weather, seemed to be a nice day for everyone who participated. Thanks to the organisers and volunteers who made it happen

I was hoping to complete the ride in under 6 hours, my time was 5:43. looking forward to next year.
Waiting for the cows to be mustered was funny, but the cow poo was not .
Cheers.

I did the 100k and managed to do it in just under the 4 hour point....average of 25.7 for me today...very happy with that
I wanted to beat my time from last year and to try to get in under the 4 hours!

I contacted the police immediately as he did it to other cyclists up ahead. Add to this the MANY dangerous overtakes, mainly on Boonah Road by impatient drivers, makes me want to not bother next year.
They need a police presence on that section, even of it is a patrol car/bikes going up and down keeping an eye on motorist behaviour... That would be enough I reckon.
Not good enough. Not good enough at all.

Could've finish a bit earlier / quicker as I was with a group of about 15 and we had a good pace line going but at 95k my garmin played up and stopped to fix it which held me back for about 10-15 min and legged it on my own from there as no other groups went past apart from individuals or pairs as it looked like the hills were doing some damage already .... Well done to all that did the ride today

I've got to say I'm starting to think that Ipswich' best motoring talent was on display today. I thought things had improved out that way but alas not by the sounds of it.
I'll be lining up for the Noosa 160. That there is a real nice ride.

Assisted by winds my riding time was under 4 hours for the metric century and felt good all the way.
Mostest fun is the sections Rosewood to Warril View and Roadvale to Peak Crossing.
Tis always a pleasure riding through Harrisville but after Peak Crossing it is a bit of a drag.
At Peak Crossing the sun was starting to bite so I had to ask one of the volunteers for some sunscreen.
I met an old uni mate there and took lots of photos.
My riding buddy wanted to ride back home to Goodna after the event, he was all revved up.
In retrospect an air-conditioned Train would have been better for me

Good job! I was aiming to beat 4 hours too, as this was my first 100km ride. Managed 26.5 avg in the end, but was going a fair bit faster til about the 65km point where I had to stop due to painful cramping. I got cramps again at the 90km mark and really had to cruise home as gently as possible. I was feeling great for the first couple of hours, so was very surprised when my legs locked up on me. I think in hindsight, I didn't eat enough before the ride and I hadn't done enough long rides to get my muscles used to the fatigue. My longest ride prior was Sunday last week were I did about 70 km of river loop and gateway loop.marinmomma wrote:Great day and ride apart from the cow poo on the road.

I thought the event was very well organised though. I'm looking forward to doing more of these things in the future.
