Melbourne Cup Day ride - Warby Trail - Tue 6/11/12

Just got home and out of the shower.
Thanks for anyone that helped me with my numerous flats.
If I owe you a tube, or even a tyre, pm me and I’ll get one out to you.
Thanks for the good day.

Thanks for the beer moccos

Rad day. Cheers dudes.

Thanks for the fun times! Even if I did manage to stack twice after a clipless fail!..

The tyre actually belongs to MikeD (i was just carrying it) PM him to sort it out.
Don’t worry about the tube :stuck_out_tongue:

Awesome day guys! thanks all for having me! cant wait to do it again…

Moccos, amazing work on the beer front.

The least I could do with how many times I had everyone stopping!!

i gotta say, i think that was the best #cupdayride i’ve been on so far.

sure, we got fucking pissed on, moccos got 4000 flats and caz had a tyre explode, but i reaaalllllllllly enjoyed it today.

as promised, many many lolz were had. i think the fact that it pissed rain made it better, even if some of the lightning was a little close for comfort at times!!

thanks to moccos for the “apology” carton (which was so unnecessary, but greatly appreciated by all), benzy/chris/sime for having tons of chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiips ready for the rest of us to help devour upon our return to lilydale in the pouring rain, and to everyone that decided that the weather wasn’t worth worrying about enough to stay home!

until next year…

Fun times (the guy wearing the Mintos jersey and riding the red tourer).

the best/worst part… rolly didnt really crack it all.

Good ride, 1st group ride in ages which was choice.

Cheers for the beers.

Was all good till I took the wrong turn going home to where I’m staying and had to climb the murray road hill twice.

Thanks all for the ride and waiting around while I changed that exploded tyre.
Nice to meet a heap of you that I hadn’t previously met.

Also, I have someone’s soggy foot cover or arm warmer or something that fell off their bike as they were getting off the train. It’s in my washing machine now, so I’ll identify what it is once it’s out and clean and dry.

EDIT: Was it Rolly I was talking to yesterday about Sram Force? Whoever it was, I have both a front and rear derailleur here. Provided it’s a 35 clamp size on the front one, that is. Going cheeeeeeeeeeeap!

Sweet If it’s a BBB shoe cover it’s mine.
I’m off work for a few weeks so should be able to pick up pretty much any time

wasn’t me, i got SRAM RED, appropriately enough.

It was me you were having that conversation with Caz, but since Roly and I are strikingly similar you’re forgiven. Front won’t work cos I need a braze on, plus I’m going to wait til mid month before I make a decision. Thanks anyway Caz!

It was a super day. Awesome scenery, awesome company, awesome deer bro’s. Thanks for the beer Moccos!

we’re practically twins.

also, lolz at deer bros.

good day.
longest i’ve ridden in a day probably since the second Cranky Sundays Franga run(!?!) and was pretty happy i didn’t die.
that mud felt a bit like wet cement the last 20k’s but today all i can remember was good peeps and good lulz (and those 2 old mates in white jackets and handlebar mirrors). cheers again to moccos for the thoroughly enjoyed beer.
got home and jumped straight in the shower wearing shorts, knicks, and shoes. #ZFG

see y’all next time!

hey Caz, how much for the Fore front mech?

Bah, I have possibly the worst memory in all of history. I just remembered talking about it, and couldn’t put a face to the conversation at all.
…Sorry…

Uhh… like, $20?
