The Mt Archer King of the Mountain was held on Saturday and is something that has to be experienced. 5km at an average of 10% is tough in anyone’s books I assure you; I can also assure you that there is zero relief from that 10% from the start to the very top. In any case our own Dylan Nankivell took home the crown of 2012 KOM. Dylan took a mere 18:40 to get to the top. To put that into perspective, the only guys to have bettered that time have been or are currently pro’s.
Other riders from our local area were Vaughn 'MG' Flowers who rode very well to crack the 30 minute barrier, Gary and Brendan Hill and yours truely. There were plenty of Gladstone riders present as well and in the end our numbers made up for almost half the field. My hot tip for Mt Archer is have very low gearing to fall back onto.
