Are you trying to time it so you avoid the climb out of Bedford Creek
It takes around an hour and a half to ride to Woodford from Glenbrook with out any stopping. That means you could meet them at the bottom of Murphy's Glen where the Bedford Creek is.
But reallistically it will be after 8 before you even start riding, so I was thinking that I would at least make it to the creeks if not to the top of Andersons.
You wanna race?
:-)
Always in for a good race.
It took me an hour to get from Glenbrook to the Helipad last week and then another hour to the top, only stopped really to fix a broken chain.
Serioulsy if you are going to ride up I reckon we would cross paths towards the top of Anderson trail so you will still get to enjoy the climb out of Bedford creek.
Any advances?
Freak is as good a description as any for Steven
!
I'll be riding up and see how I'll go, hope you guys hurry coming down, because the faster you are the sooner I can turn around
.
Hey Steven, lucky we didn't introduce Volker to Rowan.
Might be out there too on that Sunday.
Hey, tried this a couple of weeks ago in bad weather but only made it up to the hospital then back down to Woodford before pulling out. Was pouring with rain most of the time which slowed things down a bit and got lost down one of the creeks in Ando's as it was my first time on this track. Left Glenbrook at about 7:30, so 6am could be a better start. A big thanks to whoever had left those granny smith apples in a bag hanging in a tree at that creek crossing in Ando's - sorry I took one!
Started at Glenbrook at about 7:30 and got to the hospital at about 12:30pm, though had to stop in Ando's a bit with my GPS finding the way.
Did the gates to top of the Oaks in just under 2hrs to give you an idea of my pace. Not super fast, but not too slow either.
Might try it again this sunday, though 6am could be a bit early. I'll be in a Silver Hyundai i30 so keep an eye out for me when you go through the NPWS Toll Booth. Don't wait for me if I'm not there.
EDIT: sorry, just realised this is for next sunday which I can't make. Will be there this Sunday though.
