Cycling Illuminati?
it is known.

No link, just an email to me - a nod, wink & special handshake.
Team of six, including at least one female rider, $150 + carton of beer per team entry fee.
150kms of sealed and gravel roads with epicness guaranteed.
there is nothing gentlemanly about a bike race
You could get your drag on and pretend to be trappy feet Ben.
Clearly this is not really a bike race. It’s all about well groomed facial hair (hopefully only for the gentlemen)
and epicness.
Treadly have a team. I was offered a spot, but declined because I have so much other stuff on between now and then.
And I’m slow on a bike.
Fiasco Ciclismo did the last Melbourne one. Not sure how they went in the “race” side of things.
I declined and I wasn’t even offered a spot.

The fastest team was Allez Mallee - which was a Mildura-Coomealla Cycling Club team. That club consistantly produces great time triallers.
Did bates race
LOL
Treadly did alright.
Three Fiasco teams!
How much beer did need it bikes drink?
9hrs holy shit.
Probably pulled over for no Australian standards stickers in their helmets.
did any won ride a fixy?
Not that I’m aware. 150+k’s through hills wouldn’t be too fun fixed.
No fixed riders! 165km or whatever it was wasn’t fun on a regular road bike with oodles of gears. I wished I had a compact in parts. I have never been more glad to stop riding than that day.
