Hi Everyone, I’m doing one of my training rides on Sat 23 May. It will start at the bottom of Belview track in Upper Ferntree Gully. You are more than welcome to join me. I try to do this ride once every 4 weeks as it is a really good one for building climbing strength in your legs. Details are below: Where’s the start – Go towards the hills through Upper Ferntree Gully on the Burwood Highway under the railway bridge. Turn left onto the Mt. Dandenong Tourist Road then immediately left again into One Tree Hill car park. The start is at a gate right opposite the entrance you just turned into. Park anywhere you like there will be plenty of places. Start Time – Pedals turn at 8:30am What to Bring – A well maintained bike, lots of water although you can top up on the ride, food, energy bars, snakes etc, money for coffee and don’t forget you’re climbing legs. How long will it take – At a steady pace the ride should take 4-5 hours, including 30mins for a coffee. How far – The ride is around 50kms with roughly 2500 meters of up. What level – The ride is a bit challenging I’ve heard, with around 80% climbing and 20% fun single track but there are a lot of fast descents that are fun too. There will be lots of climbing so if you want a fast flowing flat ride this is not for you, it’s a training ride.If you learn to love the climbs the flat is so much more fun. Let me know if you’re interested.Cheers,Paul
