]]> Back on the bike again trying to get some k’s on the saddle to give me a chance at completing the Great Ocean and Otway Ride , a 160 km ride through the Otway ranges and along the Great Ocean Road. As you can see from the course profile , there is a LOT of climbing for the first 80kms. Geelong Otway Ride Profile

Luckily my training route from Home to work, and occasionally back again, has a few hills of its own as it climbs through the Alpes du Lower Plenty, including the Col du Plenty, and the Mont Morency. (The elevation profile is courtesy of a fantastic Google Maps mashup called Routeslip that allows you to plot your own cycling routes) Ride Profile - Melbourne to Eltham

Yes, photographic evidence taken at about 1:45pm on the Round the Bay ride. A photographer was positioned, somewhat cruelly midway up one of the few hill climbs on the entire route at Jacksons Hill, Mt Martha. Though somewhat oxygen deprived, I was still able to put on the cheezy grin and raise the cheezy thumbs up!!
