Event Details
This October I have committed to riding 1000km and raise funds for the fight against children’s cancer, part of this commitment will be my first 200km ride.
Starting in the car park of Prices Bakery, North East Rd Hillcrest at 6am, I invite you you to join me and share in my pain and suffering or just point the finger and laugh.
The pace will not be blindingly fast with regular regroups and there are numerous opportunities along the way to recharge including:
Baker St Bakery, Williamstown
Sedan IGA
Lovell’s Bakery, Mt. Pleasant
Cudlee Cafe, Cudlee Creek

Have spent the week negotiating with the Weather Gods and think I’ve come out with a pretty good result. 20 - 30kph North-easterly wind means a phat tailwind from about Sedan onwards. Who’s keen?

Ok, so next Saturday is the big day; let’s hope the weather gods smile like they did today. A little preplanning for the day:
*Pace will not be quick, planning to average around 22kph-25kph
*My plan is to keep the ride together as much as possible but will have plenty of regroups, where will depend on how many we have and I will judge that on the morning
*As this is my first 200 will be stopping a few times for coffee, planning to lunch in Mt. Pleasant and have given Sedan IGA the heads-up and will have plenty of cold Powerade and bananas on hand
No Strava segments will be damaged on this ride, not by me anyway. Look forward to seeing you there.

Hi Torsten,
did just over 100km last Sunday to test the legs but simply won't be fit enough for the 200km yet.
I'll cheer you on from the distance!
Good luck!

Hi Vivien,
Thank you for that. Please feel free to join us at the start, plenty of opportunities to turn off for a shorter loop if that is better for you.
