A long weekend worthy Cycling Adventure

  • A long weekend is always good reason to go on another cycling adventure. This time I head south to go to Sublime Point. This lookout is 75km south of Sydney and has one of the most spectacular views of the ocean and Wollongong. On paper this ride sounds easy, long open roads with not much elevation, but the reality on the day was much harder. We battled headwinds and endless rolling hills. In the end a bit of suffering makes the reward that much sweeter. Watch till the end as we check out a new bakery and cafe in Helensburg. Hope you enjoy this video, it was a job to ride, film and edit and I hope you can feel that through the video.
    If you're enjoying my content please consider subcribing! It would help me out immensely.
    The strava activity: / strava
    Yes I know it ends at 142km, its because I was too toasted to keep recording the last few km of the ride and didn't want to ruin my strava avg speed.

      "Kings Birthday" is celebrated on different days in different Australian states - and none of them around the actual King's birthday (or even the previous Queen's). In England the holiday is traditionally in early June in summer weather; Australia has mostly adopted the June date for consistency despite it being winter here. The actual birthday of Charles III is 14 November, and Elizabeth II was 21 April. As noted, Queensland is an outlier with the holiday in October (when weather is nicer).

    • @joshkwan
      @joshkwan  17 днів тому

      Interesting. I know that it isn’t on the king or queens birthday but I didn’t realise different states celebrated it on different days. To be honest I wouldn’t mind if it was moved into the second half of the year a bit more to balance out the public holidays throughout the year.

    I've never done 140k and my rides never reached 30kph ave. Impressed. The other thing is I would be ravenous after the ride. On the long rides I did 70k plus ride to Pizza shop, I would kill a pizza coffee coke and water. How are you after a ride like that?

      I was definitely a little bit under fueled. Because it was so cold I was wearing long finger gloves and I couldn’t get my gels out to eat them while moving. I had two bottles of drink mix and then a gel at the lookout.
