Sat 23rd May: QV, Hergest, minhyy,applio, recumbenteer, maybe find_bruce.

Sorry SWMBO changed her plans

I was considering coming for tomorrow mornings ride but with the weather I thought i'd post on here to see if everyone was still keen. With a 50% chance of some rain for tomorrow according to Bureau of Meteorology (http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/forecasts/sydney.shtml" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), I was wondering if it was still happening etc

[QuangVuong]

For now, the ride will still be ON, as the forecast isn't that bad. 1mm of rain is barely a sprinkle, so it should be ok.

But of course, use common sense. If it's absolutely pouring tomorrow, then the ride will be pushed to next weekend. Keep watch, I'll put out the final word tomorrow by 7am.

I'm going to have to pull out of Saturday's ride as I have a doctors appointment in the morning.

Well, I'm back in! I was lucky enough to get out of work a little early and get to the doctors this arvo.

[Hergest]

I'm looking forward to it, fingers crossed that the weather gods are kind.

Are you coming on the Superbike Quang? I'll race you up the dam

[QuangVuong]

Hmm, I've got a few hours to build the Superbike. I could, but I probably won't. Since it's still unridden, I'll build it properly in one go.

I'll still race you though.

fixies are now semi retro as it was the overarching fad almost ten years ago now

I think there will need to be a vote on that one hehehe

No rain here, so I'll be leaving Macquarie Park shortly (about 6:20) so will hopefully beat the traffic somewhat and get there in the hour. I'll Facebook message Quang if anything changes... My mobile number is: 0448574236
See y'all soon

[Hergest]

All good here in Guidlford too so see you at the bridge all rugged up.

[QuangVuong]

That was an eventful ride. Lots of skids and a couple tubes.

Paul wasn't the only one with a dead tyre. My tyre had a lot of life left in them, and now a chunk has been ripped away. I guess it was a good thing I didn't slid on the same part again.

[applio]

Poor mr paul, ski at the wrong weight distribution

Good to see you and Recumbenteer. I would have liked to join you today, but unfortunately other commitments prevented it.

Ha! Reminds me of me yoof. Many hours I spent by the side of the road gazing at a big hole in my tyre.

[QuangVuong]

Where to this month? The Superbike most certainly will make an appearance this time around.

On the topic of retro bikes, has anyone been past Clarence Street Cyclery this week and seen the Clamont in the window?

It is on loan to them at the moment from its owner.

[Hergest]

My month seems to be busier than usual and I can only make

re99ie, we don't have a usual route - we normally do a different one each time, so keep your eyes on this thread as to meeting place and time

[re99ie]

Cool, I'll keep an eye out

Does anyone know their way around Lane Cove National Park? I've never been through it, and we could always visit Cicli Spirito too

Good suggestion, I've never ridden in the Lane Cove National Park either! Anyone?

I`ve ridden in Lane Cove NP 2 years ago with Bike North.

Info in BN calendar rides. 21/6/15 Park to Park ride. http://www.bikenorth.org.au/calendar-page.html If starting from Bicentennial Park, just follow from 20/6/15 Meadowbank to Bobbo route to Epping.

Just make a route that you like. Have fun and good luck on your ride. I won`t be in.

we have been there last year. That is when QV is wearing just his normal jersey at the peak of 2014 winter

[QuangVuong]

Yes, I died that day. It was a cold morning.

Now we need to find someone who knows their way around.
