"interested in the return route. lots of hills?"
alex kearns commented on Romano Gaspardis's event 'Not the Orroral Valley to Yarrangobilly'
"yaouk to yarrangobilly return looks like a monster ride ie all day in the saddle, with a possible finish in the dark if there are any flats or delays. maybe stay o/n at talbingo to spread out the riding?
