Ride with Me Ep.9 - 160km return 1144m elevation (Melbourne - Arthur's Seat)

Once again I decided to push my own limit to pursue my longest ride distance as I am training for my first events (Amy's Gran Fondo and Around the Bay hopefully!!).
As the ride will be quite long I decided to drive into city rather than riding as it will take an extra 20kms if I were to ride to and back home to city, just to avoid bonking..
We had few friends from Indonesia, so MICC members from different parts of Melbourne decided to roll down to Beach Rd to take them for a ride to Frankston. Seven of us then peeled of and continued to Arthur's Seat, which for quiet a few of us were our first time. My imagination of Arthur's Seat was this sharp windy road even for cars, and I couldn't imagine riding up on a bike on a 8% average gradient for 3km. However since I have conquered the Dino's ride earlier, this climb wasn't that intimidating at all given the fact that I learnt how to time my carbs along the ride to avoid cramping..
One of the best climbs so far, and one of the coolest descends as well as it was pretty technical with the tight hairpin corners.
If you guys have ever gone to Arthur's Seat, share your experience below and if any tips you can share would be amazing!!
