Fitz's Challenge
Just wondering if anyone is considering doing Fitz's Challenge in
Canberra this year. Any tips for newbies-what are your best times? I understand Fitz's Hill (2.6 km at 10.4%) is a bit of a killer-what about the descent going home? -- -------------------------- Posted via cyclingforums.com http://www.cyclingforums.com |

Fitz's Challenge
The course has changed this year because the Cotter Bridge is still out
after the bushfires. More details at http://www.pedalpower.org.au/events/...2003/fitz.html. AFAIK Fitz's Hill is still in it. According to my altimeter speedo Fitz's Hill is actually 2.4km at an average gradient of 12.5% with a max gradient of 16%. But that isn't the steepest part of the course. You can see a graph of altitude and percent gradient that I took off the speedo after last years event at http://www.tip.net.au/~njpayne/bikestuff/fitz/. Nick "djali" wrote in message ...

Fitz's Hill is still in.
There are 3 rides that day... Fitz's challenge is 150km, Tharwa Challenge is 90km and Tanners Challenge is 45km. Plenty of hills in any of those rides ;-) More info is available at: www.pedalpower.org.au/events Cheers, Rob |
