Orright... Just me, Tony and Dutch out today for the BR17 extended remix.
Went the usual route to the primary school after the rolling climbs of
Warrandyte and then headed straight ahead instead of turning off left
towards Greensborough. Got as far as St. Andrews on a nicely rolling road
and followed a road off left that paralleled a stream (ie. slightly
downhill) back west towards Greensborough. Got back onto the usual BR route
at that roundabout that heads into the long climb up to the second DH
sprint. Didn't do Burgundy street as Tont wanted to keep going up lower
plenty road, which took us to the top of the same hill but over a longer but
not as biting climb. Went around the Boulevard at Kew to look at the course
for the Commonwealths and the Wednesday night crits - what a ***** of a
corner at the bottom of the course! - and back up High street for a nice
sit, coffee and chat at Balwyn.
All up, about 90k at 26 and a half average (flightdeck cuts out stops), and
one of the most enjoyable rides I've had on the road - nice and cruisy; good
company.
If you (not you, hippy, anyone reading) didn't come out for no good reason,
you missed out today.
Cheers
