We looking forward to see you all at Appleblossom on Sunday. The weather is looking good for a great day of riding !  Apologies for delay with route profile. Lots of fun for the family too on the day.

Really lovely route today, except for the wind, so organisers, pls sort that out for next year... :whistling: A lovely ride for people who want a scenic route that's not too intimidating!

I thought the route was well below standard. There is so much single track in the area across Oak Valley, Paul Cluver and Lebanon and yet this was 90% district road, just didn't understand it. The route was way better in past years.

Balancing a route with the expected numbers can be a challenge. Too much single track and everyone complains about the bottle necks. Also remember that W2W is 4 weekends away, so I suspect that those routes are off limits right now.

Fair enough, but Apple Blossom has traditionally been a great route. 181 riders for the 60kms is not too hectic in terms of numbers. Just wasn't up to par this year IMO, still a good day out.
