Rapid Ascent’s Off-Road Week in Forrest, Victoria, returns again in 2025. Otway Odyssey on Saturday on Saturday, February 22, about the pebble on the following Sunday. This Great Otway Gravel Grinding (Gogg) In 2017, the pebbly routes between the Forrest and the Great Ocean road began with two events: and again again.
Since the first event, Gogg continued to grow. Some drivers remain with elite riders that claim to the King of Odyssey, Queen and Otway crowns on Saturday. These are given to horsemen with cumulative best places throughout the incident. Race and Odyssey in the front of the ram is severe, both events attract more people who are for a personal problem until the finish position. As a mountain bike, a road gateway from the road to those on the pebble bike or cyclocross bikes, Gogg is really shining.
With 49 km and 97 km route, the horsemen can choose their own problems. This 97 km gogg route Walking in the park and a premium gravel is not an ideal problem for those with new gravel bicycles. Make sure you are 5 hours or more in the saddle with more than 2200 m climbing to complete. For this purpose, fast climb includes zones 3 times. When crossing them the line, the event is standing. Drink a coffee, fill in your windows, and simply think that it looks like the damaged damaged damaged or simply as you just started.
The jokes can be aside, the benefit can relax, fill your supply, even from the time in a small group, which will be faster than riding yourself. Of course, if you are competing, you can use tactics from the ending zones. Spend longer there and hold up to your group and you will be before them in the race …
This 49 km route More than 1000 m climb packages, but if this type is your first event, something common can achieve more. Once zone, you need to be enough for yourself for the first 33 km before you can get more water. As a point of access to outside events, there can be no better place to start!
Gentle tricks to grind the Great Otway
If you are a new one to drive a gravel, you certainly saw every brand that travels on the gravel roads. Some of them are true. Yes, you can go more than a road bike. If you think ‘free speed’ compared to mountain biking, some are true. But let’s look at several discretion before the big day.
Tires for gravel
Rapid Aspent account can gogg on a 32mm tinted road bike. And we agree – if you know what you are doing. In general, gravel tires are just like mountain biking tires. Everyone thought the leatherer was faster, but now he realized that he was in a lower and lower pressure.
40-45 mm Tire is a good choice, a faster center walk and with a more shoulder button. Something like Maxxis Rambler is a great theater. Correct them, launch a fresh sealant and review a bin-folded tire to add a quick pinch to reduce your chances of pinching.
Moisturizing and nutrition
Choose your measure distance, work our average speed and then determine how much you will be in the saddle. What are your feeding for this? In about an hour (or more than a hot day), you will understand the timeline and the timing of a proper nutrition plan. There are times when the zones of the rapid rise are withdrawn, but we have to start with two full glasses and waiting for walking snacks to begin.
Do not let the glass cages too light, because the gravel roads can loosen full glasses from light cages. Watch yourself!
Prepare your Drivetrain
Simply open a chain lubrication, isn’t it? It’s not always so simple. If this is the first to be the first to an out-of-road event, you may not understand that the pedal is when putting extra cargo against everything. And it contains your Drivetrain. Clean your bike a week before GOGG and disable Drivetrain. Don’t do it in this last minute, because you can find something that draws attention, because you have a chance!
Instead of dropping a chain in your hand, think of what you need. Many ‘dry’ chain lubes are only dry in dry condition for 4-6 hours or more. Many drivers prefer wax-based lubs like squirting or smooth. Ride Mechanic also has a new bike cream that has a wax-based lube, which is also water. Whatever you use, follow the directions – but apply to a clean DriveTrain to make sure your bike is working well to the event.
Stand out there
If you are not sure how to take care of your bike, order ahead of time. If you are handy enough with an IKEA Allen button, start your specific brakes to youTube for care and look good on brake bags. If the brakes are not difficult in the brakes on the gogg, other people or outside the roads, you can use your brakes than you think – make sure you have a lot of life in brake bags. If you have any doubt – call the affectionate local bike shop.
With a few steps, you can build yourself to succeed in the Great Otway Grind. Gogg is a great starting point in the world to get out of the way, so make sure you give yourself the best shot in a fantastic day!
