This event is a leadup training ride for the Audax Alpine Classic 2013. 200km and 150km course were the options. A total of 68 riders entered this event (40 for the 200km course). The morning started cool for the run down the Pac Hwy. The serious climbing started on Powder Works Rd. First check-point was Church Point at approx 10.30am. The section from Church Point to St Ives was the most enjoyable of the ride. After stopping at St Ives to have my Brevet card signed I rode on to N Turra for lunch at Corner Cafe. The temperatures started dropping as the southerly change blew in. The next stop was the Road Warriors at Mt White for a coke and energy bars. After returning to Berowra light rain kept things cool for the final section via Arcadia. A well run event and a challenging course with 8x solid climbs.
