Vertical Ride Profile - Avoca Hut

Highlights of this ride involve the crossing of a dodgy bridge, a very steep hill climb and waving at tourists on the Transcenic train.

Normally this ride would involve, crossing on to farming land and visiting old mining installation, but permission from the farmer must be sort and it was lambing season at the time of the excursion.
