RIDE 2 - Montacute Road - Marble Hill - Ashton - Norton Summit - Magill

<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">For those a little pressed for time,  why not try this route instead of your normal ‘up norton, down greenhill’ ride. I think Montacute Road is as close to an alpine climb as we have in Adelaide, it throws a few curve balls at you along the way, but it’s well worth the effort. Don’t use too much energy when riding the lower section of Montacute Road. Save yourself for the more challenging sections later on. For those with confident descending skills, going down New Norton Summit is a great chance to concentrate on riding with higher cadence so to try and keep your heart and lungs ticking!  Turn half a ‘hit out’ into a full one by also pedalling (when safe) on the gradual descents.</span>
