Mt Cootha Times

[LT]

Hi All,

I've been doing Mt Cootha a few times recently, and was wondering what sort
of times people usually do up the mountain? Also, I thought somewhere there
was a site with times on it, but haven't been able to find it, so was
wondering if anybody knows what it is...

Thanks

Luis

I saw your message and thought I better go up it again this afternoon. I go
the back way
(anticlockwise). From from the corner of Simpsons Rd up to the top of the
hill just past
the ABC (there is a finish line on the road) is 2.3km and 206 metres
according to my
computer. I hope this is the same start point as cycle2max otherwise I'm
cheating.
My time was 9:25 but I'm hoping to get down below 9 minutes. Fastest time on
cycle2max
is 7 minutes something! It also has the climb listed at 236m.

Yeh, Adam
That fastest time was by me over 20 years ago. We rode it in our club
C'ship. I remember just floating up (I think it was in 42/17... 18 at
the lowest). I was 64kg then.. about 80 now. The guy I was racing for
1st place had just come back from the worlds and had lost some condition
in the previous week. He just laughs about it these days.
