Took the scenic route to work this morning. The weather was perfect and it was a reasonably challenging ride with three fairly tough climbs

• The Caroline Path from Lynton Station to Belair which includes a 20% gradient at one point.
• The climb up the eastern end of Belair National Park to get up to Upper Sturt Rd.
• Sturt Valley up to Crafers – the Sturt Valley Rd was closed at the Crafers end so had to take Heather Rd up to Stirling instead.

After that was a very pleasant descent down the old highway through Eagle on the Hill (followed by a rather less pleasant descent down Glen Osmond Rd).
