Spring has arrived! It’s been great to get out and spend
more mid-week time on the road. Winter from a cycling viewpoint for me means
many hours on the indoor trainer, spinning away whilst watching LeTour and
other European cycle races. This is interspersed with Audax calendar or
permanent rides on the weekend. My rate of accumulating Audax kilometres
lessened but my goal of 10,000 Audax kilometres in the season is almost
achieved. At 9650km I can move my sights to the Great Southern Randonnee 1200k
ride (volunteer’s version) which I plan to undertake towards the end of
October.
On the weekend I did the reconnaissance for one of my
Wimmera rides. They are coming up on the weekend of September 15th
and 16th.
Day 1 ride skirts the west side of the Grampians and passes
through some lovely countryside on the way to Balmoral before a return to
Horsham. The 300k adds an out and back to Dimboola.
Heading to Balmoral
Day 2 heads to Wartook to begin a climb over the Grampians
to Hall’s Gap with a lunch stop at Stawell. The second half has
a long haul to Murtoa and a final leg to Horsham.
Climbing from Wartook
Hope to see a few of you there.
