3 Peaks Challenge conquered.

Well, after a long time away from the net it's time to update my latest adventure.

On the weekend myself and Ashley headed off to Falls Creek Victoria to participate in the epic 3 peaks challenge.  Ashley was too busy to ride the bike and decided to do some fly fishing and check out the rocks.  He's a budding geologist.

Over 1000 riders started from Falls Creeks at 6.45am.  After riding down into the valley up Towanga Gap, then Mt Hotham, 1870 metres then into Omeo Valley it was time to take on Falls Creek.  Now this has to be the hardest mountain I've ever riden up, considering I had about 35ks to the finish and had just rode over 200kms. 

Falls Creek peaked at 1730metres.    I finished the ride at 6.30pm.  I wish I had some more gears to climb the mountains.  I did manage to get photo of the finish line and I was pretty impressed to finished considering the furtherest ride I've done since Africa was 85kms.  The photos are coming.
