I will work on you guys LEAVING point B at 5:40 Garmin Time. If you don't see a Black Madone 5.2 on the bike path, assume I'm coming like a steam train, or asleep. By Golly, that's a good range of possible activity.
Eon, I've PM'd you my mobile.

Ehly, considering you had a cold, I'm sure you will smash 45 minutes next time. You did a great job of pushing yourself, I saw how you were suffering.
Anyway, Ehly and Xplora it was a great ride and I enjoyed completing the climb. But do we have to go so hard on the flat? If we don't TT out there and just go hard after Nth Richmond Bridge, I reckon we can improve our times...

Always good to ride with other pps. You either push to get away or push to latch on. In my case it was both. On the first pinch i had a crack at getting up it, then blew up, then you caught me then it was survival mode, - I was way past my limit at your pace so absolutely blew up midway wark - not the best place to grind at 2-5km/hrogan wrote:Ehly, considering you had a cold, I'm sure you will smash 45 minutes next time.

Absolutely enjoyed the push bud. Always keen on trying to hang on ..

I was only kidding about the TTT, and i was glad that you we're behind BR - Xplora, cos you had to chase him down when he sprints to take a turn... lol.rogan wrote:But do we have to go so hard on the flat?
Lets roll tempo next time so we can have a good crack at the beast.

My wife begrudging accepts being woken by me leaving at times starting with a 6 and occasionally a 5.... but I doubt she will talk to me for the next week if it starts with a 4!!

Or is the problem area bellbird hill?
I did Springwood Rd up to Winmallee last saturday at around 9. I was surprised to only see 1 or 2 cars go past us up the steep section. It was a nice ride and I did not feel unsafe at any point up there..... but the M4 on the way back down!!!!???

5am Norwest or 5:15 Kellyville Mcrs. - there abouts.vosadrian wrote:So what is the meeting point and time. I will see what I can arrange.
Robbie who races a grade above me will come, and he's brining a mate stronger then he is, so I have a feeling that I am gonna get slaughtered.

I will probably be coming up parsonage so meeting point A... unless I am late and sprint to point B!! Don't wait for me.
Who is everyone on Strava? Would be great to associate BNA user names with Strava user names. Mine is pretty easy to work out from my boring user name here. I know who Xplora, Eon, and Rogan are, but that is about it.
