Haven’t been doing so much riding lately but got out for a fairly big one today. Had originally aimed to do over 100km but got a bit of a late start so it was about 70km. Made up for the shorter distance with lots of climbing though.

Finally had a go at the bike path from Lynton to Belair – it’s very steep! I was feeling pretty worn out just after getting to Belair, but kept going through the National Park up to Upper Sturt Rd. It’s the first time I’ve been through Belair National Park, it was a nice ride.
Then headed for Mylor via Ironbank and Longwood, this part was up and down all the way. In particular the approach to Longwood was difficult. From Mylor I went up Aldgate Valley which is a nice easy ride, and then a bit of a long way around back to Crafers, including a few little climbs (Spring Gully Rd being the hardest).
