Sydney-Woy Woy Sunday 22 April 2012 ‘Route du Nord’
Last year it was the Sydney Gosford, this year it will be the Sydney Woy Woy: a ride north from the cobblestones of the Sydney Opera House over approximately 140 kilometers of challenging terrain to celebrate the ‘classics’.
There will be modestly useless prizes for ‘classic’ bike and for ‘classic’ outfit. This can be interpreted in any way and the judging process will be totally partisan, unfair and open to bribery.
Count me in, one way or another. Haven’t ridden any distance greater than from my place to the shop/pub since christmas so it could be interesting.
If I don’t ride, I can be the the second team car, with a large esky on board with drinks, endura/gatoraade/crossfire/beer. And also a camera for documenting the ride. We’ll see.
How is your back feeling now Ev? I am dipping my toe in to see how I go and it’s been ok lately. Small steps. It would be great to see you on the ride!
Am currently weighing it up - but I only have the SS, and have not ridden more than 50km in a day for a long, long time. maybe i could be support with Ev??
Sadly I am out, will be down in Tassie doing a bit of old fashioned classic walking.
Also some of you might be interested in a ride I am organising for much later this year, it also goes north, comes with it’s own tradition, is a fair bit longer and will be quite a bit darker. stay tuned for details.
Anyone planning to do it SS? 140 is about 3 times more than I’ve ever done in a single day, but you know… It could be fun? I’ll have the Pompino then, too! Wiew!
Radness. It’s gonna be radness, for two reasons. One cos you are doing a long ride with bros, and two because no matter how badly the hills hurt, you’re on a new custom bike. So rad. So, so rad.
Fingers crossed, my rear wheel will also be ready to roll.
