Think you might nearly have enough numbers on there!
Yeah, there was a spare sticker as well that I didn't put anywhere because I didn't know what to do with it. Seemed a bit excessive!
Worth it doing the occasional event to get some decent action shots, it's not often you see yourself descending. Like this one too from the climb onto Story Bridge - much more my preferred position.
Pictures start getting a bit messier towards the end!
Kudos on giving it a crack. I’m guessing that your bike is just a tad small in the frame but if the shoe fits….
Two of my Kingscliff mates had a go at this event.
One “took on” the 110 km event and said that he suffered pretty badly on the Coottha climb after about 80 + km of speedy riding
He told me that the number of entrants was maxed out at the 7,000 rider cap.
A lot more than last year.
Other bloke did the 55 km event and said that it was not his cup of tea - too much of that distance was spent in the boring tunnels.
Interesting route up to the Coottha from the Western freeway.
Frederick St is damn steep and then Birdwood Tce has got some little leg-burner ramps also.
I will admit that I love riding on Birdwood Tce but rarely get the opportunity these days because it ain’t in my backyard anymore
