Easter Friday 2/4/10 RNP Cruisers Ride - C25 pace

Jo & I are planning on running a Royal National Park cruisers ride on Easter Friday, 2nd April. This will be at Waterfall Cruisers-25kph pace i.e. at the "real cruisers" bunch pace. This will be a no drop ride but you must have successfully completed at least 2 to 3 Sunday C25 Waterfall rides in order to come along. It will be Waterfall in - Loftus out (the easier way).

Start time is 6:00AM sharp from MM's. You'll need lights and it may be a bit chilly in the park too so a wind vest and arm warmers may be in order.

Here's a link to a map of the Sutherland to Sutherland piece to give you an idea of the elevations - its the reverse direction but I can't be bothered to do my own

So, who's in?

Might do this one on the fixie. Audley exit hill will be a challenge though

You can zig zag up to reduce the gradient.

To clarify, all riders are welcome on this ride BUT you must be prepared to ride at C25 pace for most of the ride if you want to stay in with the bunch. When we start to climb the hill on the way out of RNP it will be a case of go at your own pace and re-group at the top.

I think I'll be fine on Gary beach (whatever its called) and Flat rock but I have my doubts I'll make it up Audley exit. One shall see

Mike, at least if you are riding the fixie you won't lose the cluster!
