  1. Guys I see the road out of Diamond Ck is in Cycle2max. Here's the
    details. I was thinking of adding in the details of the climb out of
    Warrandyte from the bus stop to the final rise but I would really need
    altitude details. Any of the regulars got the altitude kit (Geoff where
    are you when we need your toys err I mean important tools).

    all time rankings for this climb

    1 russell collins 0:3:45
    2 russell collins 0:3:59
    3 Paul Moore 0:4:6

    start point
    Sign on left just past roundabout, rolling start
    the route
    Heading from diamond creek turn right through roundabout towards
    greensborough bypass.
    end point
    speed sign on left before lights/yan yean rd

    US metric
    total distance 1.12 mi 1.8 km
    total ascent 230 ft 70 m
    starting altitude 311 ft 95 m
    finishing altitude 538 ft 164 m

    average gradient (%) 3.8

    surface type: smooth/mdium

    a GPS should give you altitude.

    you can log the trip to give you speed, etc
    regularly hit the new waypoint button to give you more fine grained info 😉

    cheers,

    I know for a fact that the high point (where the rock on the left is) is 120m above sea level.
    Dunno what Warrandyte is...

    Not sure whether you're refering to Warrandyte with the above height. But a
    quick check of the trusty ESMAP with its contours shows Warrandyte at the
    bridge is something just below 40m, and the top of the hill at Pigeon Bank
    is just over 200m, maybe 210m. The climb distance is probably 4.5 to 5 kms
    making for a fairly gentle gradient of about 3.4% overall.Of course the
    first kilometre and the last 400m are steeper bits.

    Cheers

    aaaww. sprung bad. got me numbers [censored]-about! 🙄

    210m at that hill. Yeah, the property opposite (white picket fence is called Pigeon Bank). 3.4%. must be all dem flat bits and downhill bits inbetween the uppy bits 😕

    Dave,

    From my Polar S720i the figures (from today) are:

    Distance 5.6 km

    Minimum Altitude 1 m
    Maximum Altitude 165 m
    **Note this is just what the altimeter shows not the actual heights above
    sea level, I haven't calibrated it recently
    Therefore the top of the hill near Kangaroo Ground is about 165m above
    Warandyte

    Ascent 182 m
    Descent 21 m
    Grade % 2.9 %

    Geoff
