Now that's precision. I take it the lads are arriving on the 7.51 train and have precisely 7 minutes to get themselves organised?

Hi everyone!

Sorry for last minute, but could I tag along as well?

I've been following on the forum but the rides previously had seem quite hard core to me. I've just done Beach Rd and trails around the CBD plus 100km in ATB. But this seems like the perfect opportunity and I'd be kicking myself if I dont go for it...so I'm IN!

I'm in Carlton, so could I join up from Brunetti at 7, Missy?

Sam.

Sam your welcome to come... if you get there at 6:30ish you can have coffee.

I'll PM my mobile number

Sam your welcome to come... if you get there at 6:30ish you can have coffee.

I'll PM my mobile number

Thanks, Missy, will look out for it...and try to make it for coffee

How long does the ride last usually and do we normally stop along the way for food, toilet etc?

[Missy24]

I'll have to discuss it with the parents all depends on what they say!

Does your mum wanna talk to my mum?

When I was your age, our parents would all talk to each others parents to see if everything was cool... I'm 25 though turns out I'm old enough to be a parent.

If your mum or dad has any questions they are welcome to phone me, you have my mobile number, there are plenty more 'mature' people going along and we will stay as a team, as a youngster I promise you will never be by yourself.

If they are worried about you catching the train, which I would be, cause its epping, could they drop you off? I know its a long way and its early in the morning and all.

There are lots of options

We stop for coffee and food in Kinglake.

Toilet break before humevale, we can stop sooner if need be, there are lots of trees.

Suggest you bring bars in your jersey though, or jam sandwhich, whatever you normally take.

This ride, I wouldn't plan on being home any earlier than 2pm... we have a very diverse group of people joining us who are all at different levels.

I don't think I have your number can you PM it to me. I heard my parents are gonna head over to Kinglake anyway for a day trip, Might be able to get dropped off at Brunettis or could ride over early in the morning. Thanks for all your help, I'll PM you tonight when I find out if I can make it or what's going on. Also can't push myself to hard I got basketball Tomorrow night, kinda a lost passion because I've really enjoyed cycling but I've payed and I'm versing one of my best friends so I don't wanna miss out on that opportunity

[Fabby]

Good idea will stop at LBS to stock up on some bars....
Hope the weather is good tomorrow.

[KenGS]

Forecast tomorrow is 33C so take at least two bottles of water. We can refill with water at Whittlesea, Kinglake West and Kinglake.
At Kinglake West you'll need to buy bottled water if you aren't game to try the water from the toilets which is labelled "Unsuitable for drinking" cos it's from a tank and is untreated. So bring some money.
Whittlesea to Kinglake West is about 1 hour with the main climb with no refill points along the way. All other stops are less than 1 hour or have refill points.
