Kinglake Cycle
Hey Guys,
I did a hill climb the other day after a 100km flat ride up near King Lake in Victoria (will probably mean nothing to most people here). Its stats are:
Total Distance:
7.46km | 4.64mi
Average Gradient: 4.8%
Elevation Gain:
358m | 1,175ft
Its on paved road so I found it nice a nice and easy climb, not really good conditioning for any hilly events that might be coming up. I wouldn't really say I'm proven cyclist after this. I was wonder if there where some real hills out there to train on. What are some good hill out near you that get your blood pumping so I know what to aim for?

Try Lake Mountain from Marysville.
Skyline Road from Eildon to UT Creek Rd and on to Alexandra (or vice versa) .
Yarck to Ruffy.
Euroa to Merton, or Euroa to Strathbogie.
Euroa to Ruffy.
Warburton to Lake Mountain.
Warburton to Mt Donna Buang.
Murchison Gap from Strath Creek to Broadford.
I am presuming the climb you did was The Slide.

We're also considering taking on the 7 Peaks Alpine Ascent Challenge this year:
https://www.visitvictoria.com/Regions...Challenge.aspx
Two of those climbs are quite close to where we live. Three could potentially be done on a long weekend.

A brilliant little site, unfortunately not updated much any more, I think the guy has moved on to marathons or something
