MTS The Mystery Tour Series

Rather then the usual 1 in 20 twice a week we are on a quest to find some new roads.
Each week a different rider gets to choose where we ride.

There are not to many rules.

• Start 6.00 am from work.
• 50-55 km.
• Back at work 8.15 ish. for the 3 S's. (Shit, shave & shower)

Week 2.
Host: BP Dave
Where: Mast Gully Road.
Strava: http://app.strava.com/activities/97126131
Description: We start in the back Streets of East Burwood and Glen Waverley and end up following the bike Track all the way to Upway.  Where are the hills, someones asked.  Coming!  Mast Gully road Goes straight up Maxing at 20 %.  I don't think I have ridden anything steeper on the road bike.

Week 3.
Host: Kate
Where: The Wall? 

Strava: http://app.strava.com/activities/98386997
Description: That's what we were told in a cryptic way.  Off we go and all of a sudden we are climbing Devils Elbow.  That's a bit of a slog to climb on the way to The Wall. "This is the wall isn't it?"  "No" Up and over and back to work on time.

Week 4.
Host: Brett
Where: Mount Pleasant.
Strava: http://app.strava.com/activities/99475465

Note: I forgot my Garmin and loaded Warrick's file.
With his Wiper Sniper heart rate against my max it looks like I just busted my pooper. 

Description: Not going near the hills today. Where heading North.  Up Blackburn Rd all the way to the top. Then some. I have done a couple of the roads before but WOW! Nice place to live.  Oh! and 1200 m of altitude.

Week 5.

Host: Ian

Where: Perrins Creak Road.
Strava: http://www.strava.com/activities/100571362

Description: Today we start with the usual ride up the 1 in 20.  At the top we head south for 1/2 a km. then down the Crescent.  It's a very slow and tenuous decent as the fog has reduced viability down to about 30 meters.  Turn left, up Perrins Creak Road.  We stop for coffee/hot chocolate on the way back through The Basin.

Week 6.

Host: Haych

Where: Boo to McDonalds Upway

Description: Reviewed by Warrick
We knew we were in for a hot ride, but the wind was the variable that caught us all out today. Haych led us from our usual rendezvous point at WVA to climb the 1:20, and continue onto the beautiful but rough Sherbrooke Rd. We popped out in Belgrave and for a moment I thought Haych might casually suggest climbing Terry’s Ave but thankfully we rolled past to take Glenfern Rd home. This turned out to be the most unpredictable part of the ride with crazy cross winds catching all of us out. I’d burned all my matches on the 1:20 so the ride back was fast and tough, and eventually we got to work sweaty and exhausted!
Great route Haych
Thanks!
