Wisemans Ferry Gravel Grind [SYD] Sunday 23 June

The CX isn’t til next month… 13-14 July, unless you mean something other than the national series.

There’s a syd cx collective race this weekend IIRC

ignore me then

Yep, Terrey Hills cyclocross is on again tomorrow. I’ll be there.

They’re just doing 2 categories though - A Grade and Open Bike/Women, so it’s either battling a hundred mountain bikes or getting laps by the pros.

Shouldn’t complain though, these things take a lot to organise and I’m glad it’s on at all.

I didn’t make it up there Rod, but yeah meet this week sometime would be good. Cheers.

I’m tentatively in on this ride, did a 60km ride yesterday on my ss mtb and my knee is 50/50

I have to bail. Which really sucks, I would’ve been so keen but had an architect change the due date of a commission sneakily… So i’ll be huffing glue and assembling 1000 tiny plastic pieces for the entire day.

Enjoy!

Lemons & Jonno give me your addresses! I aim to pick Harry up about 6am, Jonno by 7am and get to the meeting point by 8am.

Does this seem doable from your place Jonno? Do you know how to get there from your place Jonno?! Jonno? JONNO!

Oh hai Rod!
I was chatting to Rhys yesterday and it turns out he’s flying solo, so he’s gonna pick me up. But yes, your time frame looks solid. 6am pickup for Harry is probably perfect, I’m gonna get Rhys to be at mine by 7, so yeh.
And if you by chance wanted to rendezvous at mine anyway and follow us out, well, that’d be fine too. You pretty much drive past me house on the way out, and Old Northern Road goes all the way to Wiseman’s. It’s about 50km from my place, so an hour is sweet.

That sounds good - I am not very sure of my directions out that way.

email/txt your addy and I will most likely be at yours by 7am.

6 AM IS SO EARLY but whatever I’m pretty keen for this. #notmelburnroobaix is gonna happen.

Copy.

Pick the bike up tomorrow all ready. Going to take it for a shakedown roll in the days before to make sure it’s ok.
Seeing as it’s a track bike and has no bidon mounting capability (but brakes…srsly?) I will be rocking the camelbak. Look for me to be well hydrated for the length of this ride.

Is it steel??? I have some clamp on bidon cages you can borrow if you dont want to be xc spec?

No but Rhys should keep it a secret than Instagram a photo of it on dirt track because #fixie.

Also you should come.

I’m gonna wear my bag full of delicious treats. Look for me to be constantly eating delicious treats. Mmm treats.

What! If Rhys is CXing a track bike then I’m going to pop some 32c’s and risers on the Hillbrick for fun dirt times. Provided I wake up after turning 21.

Anyone have a spare 19T or 20T cog?

I am coming! probably bringing my roadie… fml.

I can squeeze 25’s on my Bridgestone but nobr akes/80gi may not agree.

Also the Planet X probs not suitable either… at least not until i can get a drilled fork & carbon brake pads… but 23’s too :frowning:

I have cogs. What is the hub?

Sounds like everyones getting excited, I’ll meet you all for lunch with coffee, coke (mini euro cans) and maybe snags 'n bread or something.

AND, a nice little bit of rain to wet that shit down! Well, its raining out here now, not sure if it is closer to the city.

Is it still happening if it’s raining? GIT MUDDY
