Hadn't seen much promotion done on it.
Bought a wind vest for only 15$? Which is good and you get a pair of sunnies as well included.
Win win. They time you up Arthur's Seat too.

I've only ever descended the Dromana side of Arthurs Seat, so this will be an experience. I'm in the 113km, and yes, the prediction is for 24 degrees. Can't wait.

Kudos to all involved. My first organized ride to boot!

I guess they don't have all the results in yet as it's currently saying I was #3 up Arthur's Seat - which given the chain drop is almost certainly wrong. Not sure if they're going to release overall times.

I did it in 12min 25 seconds which for me is a result. Normally do it at 18mins!
Riding home from the park with the wind behind was soooooo sweet! Almost still. Seeing the faces of those still completing was painful though.

And yes, the northerlies made the finishing ride over Mt Martha more unpleasant than the two Arthurs Seat ascents.
It was a pretty serious group of riders - no one trying it in a gorilla suit on a BMX. But a disturbingly small group. Degani and the organizers might have taken a hit on the day, which is a shame because the Kinglake event is also having a rough trot and is being moved to later in the year.
I hope I'm wrong, because these are events I'd do again at some time.

+1. John's a really great bloke and has been in many cycling related roles over the years.clackers wrote:Read in the paper that the guy sending the emails to us, Olympian John Trevorrow, was diagnosed with the Big C recently. He got a message of support from one Lance Armstrong. The day was really well organized, hope things turn out okay for him.
I really hope things turn out alright for him!!
