Yes...a long way from my current digs. In a previous life it was a lazy 30 minute roll on Sunday morning.
Course: classic rectangle, long front and back straights with a short drag to corner 1 after the start/finish, then slight downhill to corner two you'll hit at full tilt. Wide open roads, greatly affected by crosswinds, esp. the back straight.
If you're lucky enough to be in the front group on the bell, hit 'em with one corner to go if you are feeling good, unless you have a Graeme Brown-style kick. Sprint is long and exposed.
Training bunch normally heads down Springvale Rd to Edithvale afterwards....(A-grade finish around midday).
175km day in the bank.
