Some work in Wollongong provided the opportunity for one tool to try some training rides elsewhere. With Mt Kiera overlooking the city yet quite close it looked to be the perfect training ride, for a tool preparing for the mountains of France. So its a 7.5 k climb with about a 450 m gain in elevation. The grade varies all the way up for a bit of variety and a spectacular view at the top as you can see. A highlight is the 60 or 70 metres just near the top that can't be far off 18% gradient. Excellent fun. So been up twice now, tomorrow arvo will make three and can be recommended for any visitor to the Gong.
Good idea to post this so you can't be accused of secret training. Nice work. Where are the times?
ReplyDeleteAbout 30 minutes, bit quicker on day 2 knowing what I was in for, but no precise times. Didn't do a third was too late so rode up the coast along bike path dodging people jogging
