Hi All,

Planning on doing this ride on Sat 29th December
Head to wisemans ferry, cross the ferry and ride along the river and upto Mangrove mountain, then across to the old pacific highway, down to brooklyn , up past pie in the sky, across berowra ferry and back home to a well earn steak and cold beverage

Start time at 7am from Rouse hill Trek store, approx 8hrs riding and a couple hrs stopping to eat so 10-11 hrs out.

Usuall disclaimer, this is a hard ride so if you havent riden long distance before or climbed a few hills before this is not the ride for you, no real bail out points so no easy train to catch until about towards the end at brooklyn.

Breaky stop at wisemans ferry
lunch/quick stop at mangrove mountain
afternoon tea/whatever you call it at pie in the sky

Note: next long ride (for chucky) will be lower blue mountains climb every hill ride sometime in first couple of weeks of january

awesome but leave the bells at home Tim, they will be a tad annoying after 200km

bump, 17 days to go

damn. I so want to do this... will work on a ride pass.

I'd love to do this ride but can't make that date. I'll be on the lookout (no pun intended) for the other one, or if this one gets delayed by a week

If it was the one I met you on with my then 3-day old Avanti Corsa it was on April 5th 2008 (thanks to my Bike Journal log)

Yeah it would have been that one, I only went on one... then ended up leaving end of May.
One day I will get back .

I was there also. Cant remember who else was there though. That was about 5 bikes ago

At least 5 frames ago

I mustn't be riding hard enough. Haven't broken a frame yet

Back on topic, I will come on one of the uber rides again soon but I'm not up for 200+ again yet. 100-ish and commuting is comfortable at the moment.

I'm invoking the three post rule Three posts in a ride thread means you're in. So I guess we'll be seeing you on the 5th Boogs Will be good to ride with you again
