Apparently it's called a "Century Ride"

The generator and lights fire up at 5am, I am not sure why, but it's a tad annoying.. no way I was getting out of the cozy sleeping bag before 6am, eapecwhen it was only 8 degrees outside. Breakfast and pack up done and it was on bike by 730am with the chilly morning turning into a cool day, initially scattered clouds and sunny break, but it did cloud over by lunch time. It stayed dry all day but the wretched wind... rather tedious in some bits and only ever briefly of assistance (i.e. a tail wind). The ride was described as "undulating" and it was, gorgeous, long slow climbs and decents meaning the legs could just keep rolling over.. I was pleased to do the total 112km in just under 5 hours without any real effort. The countryside was mostly farmland and the rest stops were regular.. the last being at a winery 🍷 in Pomonal where a local ale was in order, then it was the final 12km to Hall Gap.. set up in short order and then off to the local brewery (Rock, Paper, Scissors) for a glass of stout and some work in the dreaded PHD. . looking forward to the "Great reveal" tonight when the next GVBR is announcedLeggi altro
