Here are the dates so lock them in if you are keen, or have to book leave in advance.
Thursday January 8th - Leave Kariong in the morning.
Sunday January 11th - Arrive Kariong in the evening.
Ride details and itinerary to follow at a later date but rest assured there are plenty of great climbs and rolling hills in picturesque surroundings, quiet roads and comfortable accommodation, heaps of laughs and great camaraderie.

Guys and girls just a reminder about Tour de Snowy 09. Only 5 months away if you have to plan leave etc. A Tour to rival Le Tour DF. One not to be missed....... Post your interest here, see Stumpys dates.

Well I wouldn't miss this for anything. Just found my data from the Tom Groggin climb earlier this year: Distance 13.3km Ascent 1100m Time 1hr 10m Av Heart Rate 172 This was climbed after 2 hrs of riding. My smallest gear was a 39x23 btw, it was ugly on the steep bottom sections. Thus next year i will be sporting a 12x27 cluster to help smooth out those nasty climbs, i suggest anyone else keen for this trip acquire some special gears for the long climbs. Oh, start training too, i have  Just realised 17.8 was a bit long, that was to the coffee stop at Thredbo. |

Don't let Elliott scare you, the Tom Groggin climb is not compulsory. That is part of the long ride.

You've just got to break it down in your mind. 1100m over 17.8km = 6%. Kariong Hill rises about 190m over 3.5km = 5.4%. We've all climbed Kariong Hill and suvived - so just think that you're climbing Kariong 5 times and you're there!   |

I dont know what's going on with the data but I can tell you there was nothing 6% about Tom Groggin  . The alltimeter on my CS600 held a steady 10-12% most of the way up with some small peaks on the turns of 14%. Look fwd to it again next year, that long day was a killer |

Attached is the profile, ignore the vampire teeth. [attachment deleted by admin] |

I can now say that from personal experience that the Tom Groggin climb was harder than any Col I climbed in France. Can't wait to do it again after I drop the excess kilos and get fit again. One too many baguettes in France and way too many beers in Germany - can't wait to do that again either. |
