Surprisingly, no. I did the final climb up Bobbin Head (at the 200km mark) in the big ring at about 22km/h avg speed. Then I commuted to work this morning When I did the same ride last year I was in a world of hurt. All that hilly commuting seems to have worked in my favour.AndrewBurns wrote:I bet your legs were sore after that one! Jeeze mine start to get a bit painful up hills after 90...

Massive-once is hard, mind boggling what 3 gorges twice would be like and Peats Ridge!queequeg wrote:Magic 210km ride today! 3 Gorges (twice!), plus peats ridge.

Chapeau!
Cloudy this morning so not as cool. A bit of wet on some roads.
Great morning.
Have a great ride,

Yeah, sorry about that Rather oddly, my commutes this week have been relatively easy. That I can't explain!biker jk wrote:Looked like possible rain today but I still went out for an M7 run. In hindsight it would have been better to rest my leaden legs (from trying to keep up with queequeg on Sunday, 3,000m of climbing, ouch!).

Which way do you do it? Bobbin-Galston-Berowra-Bobbin or up to Berowra first after Bobbin?humanbeing wrote:Fantastic morning. 4 gorges (Bobbin Head twice) and a lovely ferry trip at Berowra Waters.

First time I've done Bobbin twice, my riding companion today does often and always goes Bobbin-Berowra-Galston-Bobbin.Hergest wrote:Which way do you do it?

Today we went Bobbin-Galston-Berowra-Bobbin so he could have a change and that's the way I do the 3 Gorges, Galston-Berowra-Bobbin.

Youtube did a horrible job on the compression :S I spent hours getting the compression on the original right so it kept a good deal of quality but I guess the file was just too big.

Considering how shockingly bad the road surface is on that side, I am surprised the video is so stable! Looks like you manage a pretty nice run. It used the scare the life out of me going down that side, but I average over 50km/h now. It helps when you don't have someone towing an oversized boat up the hill towards you!AndrewBurns wrote:Video of yesterday's descent into Bobbin head from the north side:

Got lost in fog coming home from Waterfall especially coming back through Caringbah and over Captain Cooks Bridge.
Have a great ride and say hi to your mum from me,

118 kilometres all up and i feel rather spent so apart from cleaning the bike i'm doing bugger all on this wonderful sunday afternoon.
The Lynskey was pristine at 6 this morning, the crud on the wet cycleway has made things a bit different. At least pouring rain might have washed some of the grime off.
