i've done a few up around the 1700-1800vm in about 130km and its a big day in the saddle.

need to start ramping it up a little bit as i am hoping to do another double ton for next years tour down under community ride.
Just playing with you, I think starting in the Gold Coast somewhere and riding up Best of All (the first link) and then back would be a good solid ride but within an achievable limit for you. Best of All is not a steep climb but it is long and results in 988m gained.
