So who's up for 100+ km of dirt?

I've always wanted to do this classic ride in both directions (much harder going up!), and in the light of the Convict 100 in May (formerly Dirtworks) this gives me all the more reason to do such a long ride. Obviously not for the faint hearted, but any of those brave enough to join me, be my guest.

Here's how it'll go:
Leave Glenbrook 7:45, riding down to causeway, on dirt road to The Oaks and along the Oaks Firetrail. Long grind!
Hopefully reach Woodford by 9:45 & refill water
Down Murphy's Firetrail to Bedford creek (Downhill for once!)

Ok, so this is the once in a lifetime ride that very few people have ever done, let alone heard of, the day will include, riding, mountain climbing( with bike over your shoulder ), breif bit of road riding, bit of yellowmundee xc track, a heap of bush bashing etc etc.
I have deliberately kept numbers down for the fact there will be a lot of passing bikes up to each other, and a big group would hinder this, we must ensure that food and heaps of fluid is bought along, i have written 6 hours but it may take longer, so beware!

Time to saddle up for a run around Lazo, after a chance meeting of Gilbo, Kingy and Wes at bikeminded, it is decided that Lazo must be ridden, starting off at the top track with some fast sweeping single track, then descending down the posties track down to the pallet section then up and over down to the 2 bottom sections, then some fun and furious descending down to the bottom of terrace falls, followed by a mad technical climb up to the top of terrace, then the technical fun begins and ends with the old DH track, lastly the big climb out to end the ride!

Ok, last Sunday's ride clearly highlighted Hills as being a limiter in my current performance .

So, I have half a thought of trying to go Oaks up and down. This would have the additional advantage of cutting out about an hour of dubious entertainment on the 6.53 train up to Wentworth Falls.

Otherwise it is Andersons& Oaks again. Comments?
