Mt Coot-tha Challenge

OK .....so whose doing it...Early bird entry finishes 7th March ...you save $10

I'm in, entered 4 weeks ago. Got my discount.

Nope.. Ill save the $ and go there after work... can even do it more than once.

If you wana do a good ride, save your money and go on one of 180s Northern NSW rides or Sunny coast rides!

Can't agree more GD, probably a bit safer too.

Won't be there anyway... Gonna' be in Melbourne to cheer Lyndell on at Ironman Melbourne.

nope, done it 3x. tends to be chaos up the back, and downhill. hard to set a PR with all the Freds, who can be fast and unpredictable.

done enough Coot-tha ascents to last a life time. though one day I'd like to do get back for a sub 11:15. best is 11:45.

I used to enjoy Coot-tha Riverloops on the w/e, but then Phil showed me GC Hinterland and Tyalgum.
And I kind of prefer Wynn Rd to Clear Mtn.

I'm doing the 'Challenge' for the first time, so is Keith. Hope to break 12 mins and get in top 20 ladies. Best so far on practice runs is 12:24.

Cheers

Jenni

Managed to do 12:05 and come 17th and 4th in age group so not too bad. Keith did 11:38 so I 've got a target!

That's brilliant Jenni. Glad you achieved your goal of being top 20 overall....though commiserations on not breaking 12.....soooo close.
I am wondering what the three are that beat you take in the way of supplements

My best is 11:45, so Keith's 11:38 is an inspiration....to get me back in touch with the Bruce as lean as you two

Good luck with that Bruce. I get slower every year but I did have a good run off the top with a few PR's.
The extra kilos are great for descending.

true, but you don't tend to bounce as energy efficiently off the tarmac!

Thanks for your nice words Bruce. Next target is to break 40 mins for Women's 20km ITT at Closeburn on 6 April - did 41:41 last time.
