| Notes | This ride seems to be all climbing each hill piggy back onto the next and the downhills are mostly fast and steep. It is a great session to feel some pain and build on your strength and endurance especially if you want to focus your max benefit into a shorter session. Not a good recreation circuit, best for the riders who want to improve climbing ability and like a bit of good scenery. | |
If you are having trouble lining up maps, you will find they overlap each other a little.
