Friday July 3 Laguna. 58km and about 800m of climbing. Fire trails to the eclectic roadhouse at Laguna for Morning tea and we will pass through national park, farms and convict road ruins. This ride is best suited to electric bikes and those fit enough to ride the final 6km continuous climb – other sections would be classified as generally easy.
