ChrisF Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 Some pics of the Hexriver valley and the venue ...
Breezer Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 I was there, did a rustige 55km to save my legs for tomorrow's cyclo sportif and to my surprise ended in 10th posittion. Lovely race with a great atmosphere.
ChrisF Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 I was there, did a rustige 55km to save my legs for tomorrow's cyclo sportif and to my surprise ended in 10th posittion. Lovely race with a great atmosphere. JIP ! Along the 15km race there were two spots were we had to "climb" up the side of the dam hill. Total strangers would put down their bikes and help the kids. People gave kids a wide birth as they were doodling between the lanes .... That said, glad my godson did not do the 15km .... just too many small rocks throwing the front wheel around ..... His little 20'' rigid bike would not take kindly to that surface. Sounds like the 5km was better suited for the little ones.
ChrisF Posted May 27, 2017 Author Posted May 27, 2017 And for those that wanted, a nice bike wash facility ..... With the least bit of route scanning my bike is still virtually clean, only slight dust. Should have seen some of the others, looked like they went hunting for the mud spots !!
Mamil Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 Jeez - I went pretty close to flat out and I finished around 160somethingth in Darling - and I was pleased - top third!! And I'm doing the sportif tomorrow too. Yay! I was there, did a rustige 55km to save my legs for tomorrow's cyclo sportif and to my surprise ended in 10th posittion. Lovely race with a great atmosphere.
Mamil Posted April 18, 2018 Posted April 18, 2018 I don't seem to be able to find anything about this year's Hex river Autumn Splendour - PPA website lists it but I haven't seen any info. Anybody know anything?
ChrisF Posted April 18, 2018 Author Posted April 18, 2018 would love to do it again. This time with the camera .... Just to beautiful to race this one

Mamil Posted April 19, 2018 Posted April 19, 2018 Thanks Milky - got the details - Can you view the link? what more do you need to know, looks like you did the event last year?Its definitely happening.
Skubarra Posted April 25, 2018 Posted April 25, 2018 A bit disappointing that they cut out 15km's of the long route. Or is it a completely new route? I hope they kept the bit next to the railway and through the old tunnel.
BenReaper Posted April 26, 2018 Posted April 26, 2018 Been missing out on this event the previous 2 years on account of work commitments. Looking forward to riding here again. ???? Sent from my SM-A520F using Tapatalk
