Sunday July 14 ride

Posted by: SpeedRiverCC on Jul 12, 2013 at 7:27 AM

Let's do Gabhan's Big Summer Epic ride from last Sunday being that it got rained out. 


130km, lots of climbing(Sydenham, Snake Rd, Rattlesnake), lots of water and food stops along the way.

  1. Going to be a hot one tomorrow. Looks like we'll get to Domestique just before the stage finishes on Ventoux (expected at 11:18am) if we hurry :)

  2. Good ride today. Maybe to hot for the distance and all the climbing but several drink stops along the way helped a bunch. Slightly modified route added some distance. 143.5 km total distance, 31 km/hr pace, 1156 m climbing. Kudos to everyone on the ride!

  3. Snake Road via Dundas and on to Rattlesnake Point was an inspired route. Thanks to Gabhan. A fun and challenging ride on a warm day. Good job, gentlemen, kudos indeed.

  6. Actually it was probably just as exciting with James being the Contador to a unknown rider who was our Froome on snake who was having nothing of james pass him up the hill so he showed James the Porte (door).

  8. Cannot believe the naive comments. You go and visit these places and you will see exactly what having this sort of communication means to the community. Alerts for all sorts of disasters

  10. Solo'd the Domestique route this aft. Awesome ride. Cooler than when you guys did it mid-July. Climbing Rattlesnake after Sydenham and Snake Rds definitely got the quads barking.
