Epic, I would like to join you but I’m too soft.

> practicing for the roobaix.

I thought this usually involved riding to a couple of coffee shops, finishing with a beer.  
Or are there bragging rights involved.

Damnit. I’d join you on Sat but I’m in need of a 9sp Shimano rear wheel. Mine doesn’t spin so well with 25 spokes.

Down for Col d’Ugly though.

Ladies, I’m taking this shit down. . . . again. I even have my Ambrosios on my “bike of the North”.

Just pumped out a lazy 217kms into a head wind today with time for a quick coffee at the Portsea general store.

Should be a 650km weekend by all accounts. See you Sunday. :evil: :evil:

Ripped from TC’s site but that would make us about even now. See you Sunday XBrendizzleXox 😉

Roobaix training?! Who’s heard of such a thing?

Epic effort Sime. especially if you’re not used to the distance. Sunday will be the hardest day. Remember, once you get to Kerri it’s ALL down hill. Enjoy.
