just did blackmountain................. sheeeeeet that hurt.

17.47sec. not bad, not good.

hitting 75kph on the way down really shows the flex on the ocr1, like riding a banana lounge down the rapids. was laughing my head off at the end, gota love these pushys

you want a fun climb, try going up Fitz's Hill out of Tharwa. As I just moved from SA I thought I would go out and find this hill as everyone was talking about it with the Fitz's challenge comming up.

Ave grade of 10.6% over 2.6km with some kicks at 13% and on a 39x25 it was a killer.

I am planing on doing the 158km route. Also have a look at the 115km Rotary ride on the 30th Oct. the Pedal Power website has the details
