C'mon Sydney

saturday was a good ride. 40-odd degrees, and i actually didnt feel completely drained at the end. and the 67 km/h on the sprint into la perouse was killer! although i do reckon levon’s computer could do with some calibrating…

Your right mate I’m sure I was going faster!

heavymetal · January 26, 2009, 9:20pm

i think youre right. i mean, i was doing at least 80 and you passed me, so… i reckon i need a more aerodynamic riding position to keep up on those sprints.

Do you like the smell of Petuli?

I’m trying to bring some funk back to saturday mornings. :mrgreen:
I’ve been looked upon favourably at work so the next few weeks I should be a regular fixture. I really enjoyed the la pa ride, we should do some more longer rides in coming weeks.

you definately need more stickers to rhys, got some floating around here if you want, can bring.

heavymetal · January 27, 2009, 2:06pm

yeh, i got given a slurpee sticker at the 7-11. i’ll bring that too.

and yes, well up for some longer rides. im just not sure about this saturday morning “funk”.

and to whoever was talking about CriticalMass, i turned up to the bridge ride last year. there were a lot of ppl there with that “crazy” look in their eyes that you sometimes see among homeless people, or Ivan Milat. and the smell, my sweet lord, the smell…

I was there all weekend bombing up and down George st eyc and didn’t see ONE fixed let alone many other bikes. Does anybody ride up there? Great place to smash though, the traffic was SOOO much nicer than Melbs and no bike cops (Eat A D!#k Roy) to hastle me.

Sydney is EPIC to ride. Like being in a terrain park on a snowboard. Enjoy the quite.

i think yr right. except: come and ride during the week and you won’t be loving the sydney traffic. sydney drivers are cockmunchers.

there’s heaps less ppl on bikes generally in sydney. blame the hills, blame the traffic, blame the lazy hipster cunts not liking hills and traffic… im on the bike everyday, and im still alive.

saturday morning: we’re doing la perouse before anyone is allowed any form of caffeine or tasty baked treat.

Mmmmmm Tasty baked treats…!!! What would we do if B St Bakery did not exist.

I’ve been too busy lately to make it to a Saturday ride through working in Melbourne , Vanuatu & now I’m headed back to London again this Wednesday for up to a year (Dont know how long yet) . Hope to see you Sydney guys for a ride, coffee & or beer again sometime in the future . I will be buying a new ride asap

heavymetal · April 26, 2009, 3:00pm

hey Russ!
Hope everything goes well for you in the UK. Had been wondering why we hadnt seen you around…

See you sometime, there’ll be plenty of cold beers when you get back around here i’m sure.

Well 1st week back in London & I have managed to permanently “borrow” a brand new Charge Plug Freestyle from my Housemate as she never rides it . I went to quite a few fixie shops in the East End including Brick Lane Bikes & the new awesome Shop14 in Shoreditch that has some absolutely amazing complete bikes for around £1400-£1800 (damn expensive) . There are so many fixed gears around London now that they are more common than geared ones . I’ll put up pics soon
