It Can Be Done!
Over in the north east of Victoria there are three Main road climbs that riders from around the country come to ride over the duration of a week or so. For many years now I have joked about doing all three in the space of a day.
Well today I was riding up Falls creek and bumped into a local rider who had ridden all three mountains in the one day! Falls (30k), Hotham (30k) and Buffalo (20k)! He started at 6:30am and rode till 8:30pm, with a ride time of 12hrs 30min. It was 288k and god knows how much vertical. The ride also includes Tawonga gap twice which is 8k of fairly steep climbing on either side. When I herd him explain this to me I felt compelled to share this epic. This man is over 50 years old and rides everyday. I think it would have to be one of the toughest road rides going round.
