Sunday October 7 – Broadford to the Murchison Spur for a great view

Note this is the first morning of Daylight Savings. Unless advised otherwise, all Summer rides start at 0900

The Murchison Spur Challenge – an all-bitumen ride out to the top of  “the ‘Murch” from the less evil Broadford side.  This 25km ride will be in an “out and back” format but without the mandated turnaround time.  You can turn back whenever you want, but if you don’t go all the way you will miss that great view from the lookout over the “Valley of a Thousand Hills” (don’t you love tourism marketing-speak?).
It is pretty straight-forward – just head towards Strath Creek but don’t ride over the Spur.  If you want to get wound up about gradients etc, a plot of the proposed route may be viewed at https://ridewithgps.com/routes/27924141
Meet at “the Island” (Lions Club Park) in Broadford for an 0900 start.
