Comment by Paul Mc on April 21, 2012 at 17:47: @ Scott it will be good to have you along, the carpark is on the corner of Clarke and Ward Streets,

Comment by Steven Ellison on April 21, 2012 at 9:47: Scott, nice, will be good to see another new face! See you there :-)

Comment by scott mccann on April 21, 2012 at 9:44: just looked at directory and can see where you mean so will probably see you there wednesday

Comment by Steven Ellison on April 21, 2012 at 9:38: Scott, the carpark for the hall is on the main road. Between the two roundabouts. Just North of the bridge over the river. Entrance is via either road to Becks Bakehouse. I hope that helpS. I'm not good giving directions. If it doesn't make any sense have a look at the map to see where it starts and zoom in or ask for some plainer directions annd we can see what whe can do ;-)

Comment by scott mccann on April 21, 2012 at 9:22: sounds like a good ride where abouts is the hall in port nourlunga

Comment by Steven Ellison on April 21, 2012 at 9:08: Paul, I have not climbed for 4 days as I finished the challenge last Monday :-) Like I said, steady, don't rush it. I am still a slow climber so don't worry. I will not be in any hurry. I will be there to support you! You will not have to much dificulty on this climb Paul, I am sure of that.

Comment by Paul Mc on April 21, 2012 at 9:03: I am sure willunga will be a challenge, a challenge is good, I might not be saying that half way up but after it I will I am sure. All we can do is put it out there and hope people want to come. If we can get half a dozen interested that will be fantastic if not I was going to ride it anyway. Steven will probably show us how it is done with all his climbing of late, how is the climbing going, will you reach your goal?

Comment by Steven Ellison on April 21, 2012 at 9:01: Paul, I think Chandlers Hill road is a closer match to Old Willunga Hill. Bains has some steeper sections and some flatter sections giving a more thrust and cut to the ride while Chandlers & Old Willunga just keep going up at a more steady pace, Willunga slightly more so. Old Willunga just seems to go on for so long even though it is no longer than either of the other two! Just don't hit it too hard to start with, steady gets you to the top ;-)

Comment by Michelle Crick on April 20, 2012 at 21:55: Col I thought Bains is harder than Willunga - TBH there is probably not much in it. I like Willunga better for some reason!
