Jase has written up a good review of this ride - check it out here
Only a few things to add;
- The "breakaway" from Cooma to Jindy went at a cracking pace - Tommo needs to tame his new roadie. 400 watts when he got up the front!
- Garry big dogged it all the way to Khancoban!! He is an animal. On the Sunday, 30 minutes into the 60km climb he says to me "Andrew ... are you in the big dog?"... my reply - "Garry, I was in the little ring rolling out of town!" - Garry - "oh ok... might drop down then"
- Rain from Kiandra to Cooma ... ich ... nothing like wet road brakes whilst doing those long descents
- Hot Choc. in Adaminaby is highly recommended - esp when riding in pooring rain
- Glad Dave caught Gaz and I up at Adaminaby - his strong roadie legs meant another person doing turns on the front ... which was very much appreciated!
- Last nights garlic bread is gold for breakfast ... hmmmmm ... garlic break ....
Next time I think Canberra --> Thredbo, Thredbo --> Adaminaby, Adaminaby --> Canberra :)
+1 for the GB for breaky, that was indeed gold! Your 3 day route sounds a bit more challenging being 600km. I wonder about panniers for rides like these, they would make it a lot easier, I just have no idea how they would attach to a carbon roadie... Maybe we need Fargo tourer's, N+1 bikes strikes again ;)
ReplyDeletegreat write up Andy awesome fun as usual . bad news about the frame i thought your bike must always be that noisy or i would have said something .
