Peaks Challenge – Gold Coast Training

With the pain and elation of Peaks Challenge Falls Creek now a distant memory, Team Bicycle Network are readying themselves for the next event on the Gold Coast.
Are you up for the challenge?

(UPDATE: 1 APRIL)

Join Team Bicycle Network in Sydney for the first Peaks Challenge – Gold Coast training ride.

MEET: Hornsby Park (bus stop), Hornsby @ 6.30am Saturday 9 May.

THE RIDE: Starting at Hornsby Park the Bicycle Network bunch will roll along the Old Pacific Hwy towards Galston Gorge. After taking on the first descent and ascent of the day we’ll shoot across to Middle Dural before turning left onto Cattai Ridge Road. From here, it’s a meandering route that follows the Hawkesbury River all the way to Wisemans Ferry. A quick pitstop to refuel will be followed by the steady climb up Old Northern Road. After rejoining at the top we’ll continue all the way along Old Northern before heading back down and up out of Galston and through to Hornsby. This particular ride is a bit of a hidden gem and one not to be missed, even if you’re not entered for Peaks Challenge Gold Coast.

The total distance starting and finishing at Hornsby is approximately 130km. Elevation gain is approx. 1,800 metres.

FINISH: 11:30am with 27km/h average (approximately)
