Every time we ride i hope that his panache will rub off on me,
Funnily enough after he left i seemed to fall back into my grumpy, critical, sacastic mood.
mind you it could just mean that i’m bi-polar.
Rapha have a fragrance? Why the fark didn’t I hear about this sooner?
Probably got there 7.37, a customer said you had left. Took a bit longer to get over from Nth Melbourne than I anticipated.
Inspired by the plants and herbs of Mont Ventoux.
How many mgs of epic does it have?
They have to use the Hadron Collider to put the lid on.
Anyone with plans for this weekend? I need to ride my new roadie somewhere. Nothing too fast/far/epic. Definitely under 100km.
On sunday a few of us are riding to Geelong via the ferry at Sorrento. Won’t be fast, you can tag and turn back wherever you like. Although that means half the ride in solitude…
I’m keen for something on Saturday, perhaps a Mt. Pleasant loop? If you are after flet km’s I could do a Mordy run, but if that’s the case I wanna do it in a decent bunch.
I would like to go to kinglake back via(new route back of whittlesea missing the hill) epping burger joint Laurie dees.
I would also like this, but alas it is a bit beyond me at the moment.
This sounds good, esp given predictions for strong northerly winds. What time are you planning on leaving?
Could do tomorrow, but only late afternoon. Need dropouts checked for alignment at Shifterbikes tomorrow morning.
Leaving Fed Square @ 8:30am on Sunday.
How did you go? I decided to go test ride this new bike solo, rode Warandyte return. Mount Pleasant is quite nice.
Solo was a good choice, stopped many times to tinker with stuff. Got back just before the rains started.
Was all good to the ferry.
Then leaving Queenscliff the wind was fierce. And then the rain began, the garmin dropped from 29 deg to 19 deg in minutes.
It was a horrible struggle for a while.
Got to Geelong wet and cold after 130kms on the track bike dying to get on the train to go home…
And the trains weren’t running due to boom gate issues etc.
So we hung out upstairs in a pub until they finally ran around 8pm.
The shower I had when I got home was the best in my life.
All in all it was fun though.
o.k people, I understand its early in the week and i know people are heading for some dirt and track but i’m going to do the above on SAT (even if it is solo) morning if anyone is keen, i’m thinking of a 8:30-9am coffee max start, and i’m riding 12-21 so i’ll be grinding up the hills.
Don’t be fooled people. He says shit like this all the time, and then smashes it out of the saddle the whole way. You’ve been warned…
I know it’s not a weekend, but tonight’s too nice a night not to be out on at least a coffee roll. Any takers? Anywhere after 6pm. Easy pace. Easy distance. Just want to be out on my bike.

I’ll be doing some boulie laps, but can be convinced of an alternative route, with Mckenny at about 6ish.
