Dave of the red italian carbon/mid-life crisis (formerly ‘Surly Dave’) asked if I would post the following for him. Now, I think it is a legit ride, but it may just be Dave organising another opportunity to show off his new red, racy bitch, er, I mean bike. Turn up. It’ll be a fkn radical ride. Hunners, you better get on it. I’ve been training and there are only four more weeks until Carnival action kicks off… don’t wanna be blown away by the apprentice now do ya?
Dave this one is for you:
“The inaugural Channel Challenge 110km ride is on this coming Sunday 23 November. The ride traverses some of southern Tasmania’s most scenic waterfront roads with four major climbs as it passes from Huonville through Cygnet over to Kettering and back around the Channel. A moderate/hard ride with 1500m of ascending. There is also a 50km option for riders seeking a shorter day in the saddle.The ride starts from the Huon Jet Boat Base at 8am – turn left just before the Huon River bridge if you’re coming from the north. Plenty of parking, toilets and a 24-hour service station nearby. Be there by 7.30am to register. Entry is $10, $5 for Audax Australia members. The ride is unsupported and has a time limit of seven hours. Riders will need to to be self sufficient and of reasonable fitness.”
