It’s a hidden gem, one of New South Wales’ toughest non-alpine climbs, and certainly one to add to the ‘must ride’ list.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located along the picturesque Bylong Valley Way and known by locals simply as The Gulph, Growee Gulph is part of an imposing mountain range reaching some 700metres.<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenging 5+kilometre climb takes in more than 300 vertical metres at an average of 6.2%. And yes, ‘Growee Gulph’ makes up the King and Queen of the Mountain of the 170km Maxi Classic at the inaugural Mudgee Classic in May.<\/span><\/p>\n

Strava leaderboards show Mudgee Classic ambassador Megan Scott is the current all-time QOM having conquered the climb in 18min 43sec at 15.5km\/h in October 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

Well-known Team Bridgelane pro cyclist Ayden Toovey holds the KOM, he blitzed the climb in a time of 13min 26sec and 21.6kp\/h in December 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n

A proud Mudgee local, we asked Ayden how it feels to blast up ‘The Gulph’ and his top tips for Mudgee Classic riders preparing to take on the tough climb.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The 170 is an awesome loop, as soon as I saw it I thought \u2018yeah … I\u2019m happy they were able to put together that sort of loop around Mudgee’ “, he told us from Canberra, while preparing for a mid-week Crit race.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The Mudgee Classic 170km course really shows off what the whole region offers cyclists – it showcases the best of everything,” he continued. “Heading out along the Bylong Valley Way and up Growee … It was awesome organisers were able to pull that off and include the climb.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Having ridden the 5km Bylong Valley Way climb at a similar speed many of us ride on the flats, Ayden said the secret for Growee Gulph was to pace it realistically and stay within your abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Like any event, there will be those who want to push hard and punish themselves up that climb,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It\u2019s pretty solid – it really is. It starts quite steep at the bottom, flattens a fair bit in the middle then ramps up again to hurt you at the top.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThrough the middle, you get a good advantage and can get the legs moving a little more, but for about the last four minutes it ramps up. The tip here is to pace yourself!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe other side of the climb is a lot of fun, then the whole way back toward Rylstone is undulating so you’re still working,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

And Ayden’s local advice for all riders is this: “The key is not stressing, just taking your time, making the most of the scenery, eating and drinking properly and having a great day. There\u2019s a lot to look at and overall it will be a very enjoyable course.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Ayden Toovey’s Top Mudgee KOM \/ QOM Tips<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

* Before the KOM \/ QOM you’ll already have a fair few kilometres in the legs and two hours to the finish arch so be realistic and pace yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n

* It’s the longest climb of the course but there are still many undulations afterwards, so don’t use all your energy reserves on the climb<\/p>\n

* Don\u2019t go too hard too early. Try to recover in the middle third (where it flattens off a little) or else you’ll pay a high price when it ramps up towards the final 1\/3 of the climb.<\/p>\n

* Sadly you don\u2019t get rewarded once cresting the climb. There is a gentle downhill section but you’ll need energy for undulations and rolling terrain ahead.<\/p>\n

Describing the 170km Maxi Classic as “epic” and “a solid day on the bike”, Ayden finished by saying “anyone who completes the 170km course – well that\u2019s an achievement in itself.”<\/span><\/p>\n

About Ayden\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Born and bred in Mudgee, 25yo Ayden Toovey rides for leading UCI Continental\/ NRS team Bridgelane.<\/span><\/p>\n

He is currently based in Canberra where he balances road and MTB racing with his work as an apprentice electrician.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Looking back to his origins in the sport, Ayden credits growing up in the country environs of Mudgee as one of the keys to his success.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We had a good training crew and some great bunches in Mudgee,” he told us.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The country racing scene directed my career, and growing up there definitely bolstered my training and strengthened my cycling,” he said. ” It was all about good people, good attitudes, solid training and us locals having fun and enjoying our sport.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Older riders – for example David Payne – would help motivate and motor pace us. And those quieter country roads were very good for training.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Ayden said the Mudgee region offers a fantastic variety of road riding but also some very good MTB and gravel options.<\/span><\/p>\n

“There\u2019s a place called The Common which I love, ” he told us. “You could get lost in there for hours without seeing the same track twice.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Career Highlights\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Career-wise, Ayden told us his first UCI win will always remain a standout.<\/span><\/p>\n

“That was at the Tour of Japan,” he said. “I had the leaders’ jersey up until the Mt Fuji stage.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“Racing criteriums in America is also right up there. It is definitely more aggressive racing in the US .. more riders are willing to risk a lot more skin over there …. it can be brutal.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Ayden said that although his apprenticeship is his main focus now, he wants to race again in 2021 and beyond.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I\u2019m very keen to do the Tour of Taiwan and Tour of Japan again,” he said. “They are very well organised events and offer top-level racing. Plus I’m also keen to get back and ride my home roads of Mudgee … I hope to be there and catch up with my old mates in May.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
