BR52 ... am I up to it?

Marc Bishop said:

Here's a bit of a toe dipper I did this arvo ..

I'm in Templestowe. Started on B/burn rd just near King Rd and up to
Anderson's Creek Rd. Onto ACR and down past Reynolds Rd to Warrandyte Rd.
Along WR through the village all the way to the bridge then the roundabout.
Took the left to Kangaroo Ground and headed up that hill to what seemed to
be the top .. a bus stop near Bloom St .... back the same way ... a total of
25kms in about an hour

Am I ready master?

Yep, that first climb out of Warrandyte is the hardest part. From there
to K Ground is rolling hills. 25kms in an hour along there, you're
ready. Be there at 7:20 Sunday morning.

Yep - easy peasy at that pace. Pace yourself if you're not used to
longer (70-95km) rides, but other than that, you'll do fine.

I use to drive sort of that route to work and it is *hilly*.
U guys are mad.

Ha ha, this triggers a memory from BR15 or so. I brought a friend along, had never done a long ride. I told him to bring 3 bananas and sportsdrink and stuff, he got [censored] with and asked if we were going on some fekking picknic. He did not bonk, and was grateful afterwards though. 🙂

1.5 drink bottles and two muesli bars usually do the trick for me..
depending on effort, heat, and diet before Sunday..

So will Banana Man be showing up on Sunday? 😉

cheers,

That's pretty funny. I would've said "yes, don't forget to bring the
basket... I'll bring the chicken and champagne..."

3 bananas in one ride, that's a bit full-on... I need variety.
Sandwiches, lollies, choc bars, protein bars, a variety of flavours for
my sports drinks... [censored], I do go on long-ride picnics!
