    The Lake ๆน–ๆ™ฏ็บฟ

    58km 1080m hill climb.

    A nice rideย  to add on way to / way back towards SH / HZ. Also a great extension for those that few extra KMs to the northern routes. Park your car just off the motorway and cycle from there.ย

  • Slate 8โ€™s

    Slate 8’s

    90-105km 1600m. More an area to explore, south of us, than a single ride. Everything from 80km to 150km.

    Slate8 Perfect

    We have been riding in the area for years and love the remoteness of the Slate Mountains. The twisting mountain roads have been resurfaced, so this route offers some great winding roads. It’s a great way to get a sense of what cycling in the area is all about. We recommend you do the route on a comfortable road bike, like a Roubaix with lots of gears, compliance and fatter tires for all-day comfort.

    There are lots of options in this area.

    This route goes up Gaoshan, the first sharp climb, its optional and you can just stay on the good main road. ย After the longer climb it loops around the reservoir anti-clockwise and goes up Slate Hill, returning back.

    Rubbish Ride

    70-90km 800m to 1200m. Our relaxed Sunday ride. Various extensions. Rolling with a short, sharp hill. This is our classic route, and the sharp section can be omitted to make it a relatively flat ride. The road is a bit rough in places, but it’s getting smoother each year.

    Basic Version: Rolling plus Poshan sharp section.

    Advanced Version: 2 sharp sections
