My First Time up to Norton Summit - WOMGiE
Before I go to far the name of the group is W.O.M.G.i.E., Created by Gus K, stands for Wednesday Morning, Oh My God it's Early! They start the group ride from the Tower Hotel in Magill at 6am. I personally do not think its that early but hey, that's just me :-)
The ride up to Norton Summit and back from the Tower Hotel is about 16 km's with an average of 4.1% grade so it does not make a very long ride in itself. The ride is frequented by many riders but will be a challenge to many others.
I have been contemplating this ride for the last 5 to 6 weeks and have been waiting for an occurrence that fitted in with my current events. Having done some early rides with the "Every Second Counts" challenge recently I felt I could ride to this group ride and home again afterwards...[...READ MORE...]...

Hey Steve, good to meet you for your first WOMGiE. I don't think you got Norton on its best day! Norton is my favourite climb (Anstey is probably second). One of the things I like about it (other than the challenge and its flatter sections) is how beautifully scenic it is. Unfortunately the fog was so thick it was hard to see the edges of the road at times let alone the twinkling lights of the city! I hope you come back for WOMGiE on a clear morning and give it another crack - I assure you it will be worth it!
