It’s up to you guys really - I’ve got a strong feeling I won’t make it, so I’d hate to call shots and then not be there - I’m just throwing that route out there as an option, because I reckon it’s probably a bit more safer* and enjoyble for a large group. - you could always keep the meet spot and head down Bell and then down Burgundy st. Up to you guys really.
Meeting place sounds good to me wjwat1. Thanks for the link Chaz. I’m really looking forward to this now.
Corner of High St and Westgarth it is then.
I’ve been talking to the guys at Borsari cycles - they also recommended heading out the Kangaroo Ground way - Mt Pleasant Rd?
Weather forecast looks pretty much perfect too.
Done. Alright everyone, you heard the man. Leaving at 7am at High st/Westgarth. And all try to remember the way out!
Is everyone still coming? Would be good to know who is so we aren’t hanging around for people that aren’t turning up.
Maybe we can hit up 99 problems afterwards for a quick lycra based beer.
I’ll be waiting at the cnr of Chandler Highway and Heidleberg Rd - will be on a red and black carbon Merckx - from 7.10am.
Just head down Westgath St and at the end turn left into Heidleberg Rd and keep heading along that road away from the city.
Will, I know the route out to Heidleberg park, Banyule, Rosanna, Eltham and the route out through Mt Pleasant Rd so I can act as tour guide - make sure you bring your climbing legs.
See you then.
Stu
I am in and super stoked.
Confirming my attendance and slightly terrified.
In, bring yer arm warmers I’d say.
Will be there, on the fixed gear. Hopefully I don’t slow you guys down at all.
Just got home. Don’t think I’ll make it.
soft^ 3 hours sleep is all Thatcher had

Yeah, just gotta keep it slightly under two pints.
