Category: GeneralDonna Buang eBike Challenge

N/A
March 21, 2023

This is a ride specifically for all those who own an ebike and would like to see how well it would go when riding up a real mountain.  The plan is to meet at Panton Gap, at the start of the back way to Donna Buang, in time for a 10 am start. We will then follow the closed back road (closed to cars, not bikes) to the summit. from there to the summit, the distance is only 16 km, but there is 700 m of climb. When you reach the summit, you can roll most of the way back to the start.
If any riders would rather start at Launching Place and tackle the full ride, they will need to leave at about 9:15 am, so that they can join the others at Panton Gap at 10 am.

When we were in Provence in 2019, we met a group of riders from Portland in Oregon. One of them is now visiting Melbourne on the 26th March and we would like to share a ride with her and show her something of Melbourne. We already have a bike and helmet, all we need are some Ghostriders to share the ride. The ride will start in Gardenvale at 10 am (meet near the Sons of Mary Cafe) and then follow the Elster Canal and Bayside Trails to Docklands and back again. Please come along and give Kay a good Ghostrider welcome.
