Now the climbing starts. This ride is short but sharp, just like the steep bergs around Orange. We'll start at the car park opposite Pattinsons in St Ives and warm up the legs riding up Mona Vale Road to Terrey Hills. We'll descend into Akuna Bay and climb up to West Head Road just like the first training ride: but then we'll turn around after regrouping and return the way we came. Now here's the hard bit - we'll climb the shorter, steeper way out of Akuna but before cresting the climb we'll turn right onto Cottage Point Road. We'll descend to the turnaround and then take on the savage 1km climb out. By the time we return to Terrey Hills, your legs should well and truly be jelly! We'll then cruise back to St Ives for a well earned brew.
