Tip: use of suitably retro phrases (see above) is totally bodacious.

One of Great things about these rides (besides nice people and cool bikes) is learning about new areas to ride. Thanks again for that! We came back on Sunday and dinked around the bike paths, checked out the rock pools and got to see a great Colonial Days reenactment in the Bare Island Fort. Lots of muzzle-loading rifles were shot and a good time was had by all.

Kind words! Must have been the other bikes that blinded you. Clearly I was more blown away by your Mavic gruppo, Columbus steely!Saro28 wrote:Sunho has the Tri A, In very good condition too I must say, in fact it was excellent

If anyone is interested the DHBC vintage crew are planning a ride in the Bowral/Picton area on Sunday 26 May. This will include a climb of the Old Razorback and finish on the Bowral velodrome. The whole ride is about 140km, some dirt roads (including Razorback) with about 1,000 m of climbing. We intend to keep up a pace of about 25 kph. Map is here. There's potential to do a portion of the route if you don't fancy the full distance. Send me a PM if you're keen, Andy is already coming along.

If Paul, or someone else will lead a retro ride, then I'll go on our ride. Otherwise, I'll see about the DHBC one.

Option 1 - Saro28's proposed ride (Bowral - Picton & back) I have driven razorback plenty of times - I am a big wuss & waay too soft to ride that.
Option 2 - Frailer5's proposed ride (Parramatta & return) that's more like it - an easy distance, even when I ride to the start and home again. Sat 25 May, SWMBO is going shooting that afternoon & I would rather not be the target I may be able to get a leave pass if I can get home by a reasonable hour on Sat morning.

Hmmm, may be a bit early for BBQ hitting the GIT. There's a few cafes in the Millenium Parklands precinct. Maybe anti-clockwise is the way to go. We'd still be there early enough before the strollers and trike hoards hit. Then west to Parra to finish.QuangVuong wrote:I'm in for the Paul's ride. Will ride up to Parra if Andy can't make it.
BBQ at Olympic Park?
Thoughts?
...I'd better remember to bring that seat too, Quang. You OK if I hit it with some of the magic VO leather treatment, hot off the DHL MD-11, from the good ole US of A? I've put some on the VO leather saddle that came in the same parcel.
Shall try and commission some sesame and cherry bars again, too.
