This blog seems to get hits from all round the world, so the chances are some readers might be a bit far away to take part in next weekend's Channel Challenge 110km Audax. My condolences. A rainy weekend at home means I'm busy putting the word out and finalising the details for what promises to be a superb ride.If you're in Huonville and have nothing else planned next Sunday, here's the details:
The ride traverses some of southern Tasmania's most scenic waterfront roads with four major climbs as it passes from Huonville through Cygnet over to Kettering and back around the Channel. A moderate/hard ride with 1500m of ascending. There is also a 50km option for riders seeking a shorter day in the saddle.
The ride starts from the Huon Jet Boat Base at 8am - turn left just before the Huon River bridge if you're coming from the north. Plenty of parking, toilets and a 24-hour service station nearby. Be there by 7.30am to register. Entry is $10, $5 for Audax Australia members. The ride is unsupported and has a time limit of seven hours. Riders will need to to be self sufficient and of reasonable fitness.

Nice poster - will you be riding fixed too?
Yeah, cool poster. I really will have to get across to one or two rides in Tas (not this weekend, alas).
Hey Dave, the URL on the poster is busted!
No fixie, sorry - too much up and down for me!
Pretty happy with the poster, though never printed it. I couldn't get the URL on the Audax website so just gave up. Didn't think anyone would be bothered trying it! All our rides should be in the Audax calander - which apparently features a photo of me, although I haven't seen it yet.
