Sunday 21-Nov, meet 6:50am, depart 7am.

Forescast is for a sunny day and light winds.

Its time to get your body ready for the annual feasting season, come along for the ride.


Matt.

Haven’t ridden since I last rode with you guys, but I will front up in the morning and see how I go.

Cheers,
Tom

Can't believe it!!

5 am and it's raining..........what wrong with these weather forecasters

Bummer!!
20 minutes into this mornings ride and I’m doing it tough, even my hands started cramping up. I’m afraid I had to call it quits and coast back to the starting point again.

It’s going to take a lot of work to get this old body back up to scratch ......... mmmm back onto the indoor trainer I think.

Tom

Weather permitting...

Should've come on a ride with you guys while I had the chance

As posted above, I broke my arm a while back.Not long after that mishap I got back on the bike and a couple of rides in I BROKE MY LEG. Luck doesn't get much worse than that

The good news is my arm has recovered 100%. The bad news is that due to my leg injury (which occurred a couple of weeks back now) I'm at least a month away from being back on the bike

When I first expressed interest in this ride I stated that I didn't want to start riding in a bunch until I had a few more long rides under my belt. Let me assure you this point of view has changed. If these rides are still happening (which I trust they are), you can expect to see me as soon as I'm back on the bike. I'll be the guy with the super skinny unconditioned legs

Happy riding

I'm normally not a morning person - especially on the weekends! But I might have to jump in on some of these rides if they are still happening after Xmas?

We ride at 7am Sunday as most people don't have anything else scheduled then except sleeping in. If it was just me it would be earlier... 7am also works during winter.

I am still riding every Sunday with Erik, there is an open invitation for anyone to join us for a ride. Numbers have been "random", usually 2-4 people over the past few months.

There have been no other riders for a few weeks, so we have been leaving from my house in Lynbrook at 7am (ish).

If you are interested in joining us send me a PM or post on this thread and we will meet at McDonalds in Hampton Park for a 7am start.

I am exploring the general area and there is a bit more variety to the roads then I first thought, North though Dandenong South, There are hills in Cranbourne South and Langwarrin, Devon Meadows is flat and straight but very low traffic. The on road bike path from Cranbourne to Frankston is complete both ways and is a good ride.

Happy Riding.


Matt

Matt & others

You may have noticed from other post getting back on bike after few months off. Will do the commute thing to work for a couple of weeks and then hope to catch you guys around mid feb whgen have some K's in the leges.

Work and new baby have been all consuming.

Starts tomorrow with my return to work

Hi Matthew,

Has the ride changed to a Saturday morning?

Tom

EDIT: Sorry mate I just realised the 16th IS a Sunday.

Hi Matthew,

Great, this Sunday it is, looking forward to it. I can't PM and my posts need approving before they appear, any chance you could PM me your number just in case I can't make it. Thanks.

Cheers,

Will

Come on guys, any ride reports

I’m doing my very best to get my fitness back up so I can join in again, unfortunately not quite there yet

Cheers,
Tom

Erik & I will be riding the Warburton trail on Sat morning: Lilydale - Warburton - Lilydale. We are not planning to ride on Sunday.

Will said he was coming as well.

Anyone that want's to ride the Warburton trail on Sat, let me know & we can meet in Lilydale RS at 7:30am.

Matt

Thanks for the ride last Saturday. I can't make it this week, I have to be home at 8:00am for child minding duties.

Hi guys,

Good to hear you are back on the bike, if you are up for it we will see you on Sunday.

Matthew

Thanks mate, but not this Sunday unfortunately, I’m leaving tomorrow and heading to Tassie for a couple of weeks.

Taking the bike and hope to improve my fitness a bit while I’m there, and will PM you as soon as I get back.

Cheers,

Hi Guys,

Is this ride still going? If it is im hoping to join in around mid/late august...

Thanks

This is not really a group ride at the moment, I ride with one other every Sunday for 2 hours, 40-50 km.

It COULD be a group ride if a we get a few people to turn up regularly.

PM me when you want to ride & we will start up again.

Matt

Thanks mate.. Once I get my legs back I will be in touch..

Cheers

We will be riding on Sunday 7-Aug, meet 6:55am Hampton Park McDonalds (Sth Gippsland Hwy), leave 7am.

45km (AT) 26-28 kmh.

Matt

Hi guys,

While I would love to join in for a Sunday morning ride again, unfortunately my age and health have caught up with me, and I have only managed an average of 22 km per hour for the 35 km trips I have been doing.

On top of that a couple of scares with the 100 km+ traffic on the roads around here has resulted in me having to go and get my riding fix going round and round at the Casey Fields crit track.

Hope you guys have a great ride on Sunday mornings, and stay safe.

Cheers,
Tom
