If you read the previous blog post on The Ballarat Sebastopol Cycling Club Melbourne to Ballarat Classic you would have known why there were 250 cyclists on the M8 (Western Freeway) today!
....... and what a ride it was!
All of the following images were taken at the top of the climb after Pykes Reservoir, a beautiful part of Regional Victoria.
it was quite a climb for the riders here, though there was to be another further along as they approached the Gordon area!
Pykes Creek Reservoir is located on a tributary of the Werribee River and is 72 km west of Melbourne on the Western Highway.
I hope you enjoy the following images. Think of these riders - and their sore muscles tonight - as they rode the 98 klms along the Western Freeway to Ballarat today ....
