Hi,

Mike C, Peter O,S and l are riding Mt Keria tomorrow, weather permitting- looks ok at the moment.

This is not a club ride.

This ride is suitable for upper end middies if you are used to longer distances.

Leaving M/ville cafe at 5:45
l'll post at 5:10 if the weather is dodgy.
Distance is 200 km with around 2500m of climbing.
The first cafe stop will be Wollongong, bring snacks for on the bike. There will be another food stop on the return, probably Austinmer.
l expect we'll be back around 3:30- 4pm.

If the weather turns ugly we can jump a train.
Cheers,
Mark

I would have thought you'd be home well before 3.30pm. Should take you a max of about 8 hours.

From memory l've done it in 9 hrs, just allowing plenty of time.
I'm feeling good so it might be quicker :-)

The route roughly follows the train line, so there's an option to bail if the weather goes belly up

Mt Keria is off :-(
I'm keen to ride later if it fines up in time. I'll post if riding.
