Can anyone remember the other speed brackets?w00dsy wrote:i've signed up as well, 120km in the 25-29kph group.
25-29kph sounds about right for me, but just curious on the other speeds to let some other guys know.
Haven't been able to get confirmation from the others, just a few who are 'keen'... just to get them to commit now.

For information, go through the registration process and there is a page where you can choose your preferred average speed.

So next week weather permitting we leave at 7.30 from Degani for a ride to Williamstown over the punt to Port Melbourne then down to Mordiallic and back returning the same way. If the weather looks dodgy late in the week we will do the usual run leaving usual time. So who is keen ?

Thought I would just map out my usual ride on Bikely.com to let you see which roads I take, but after an hour and a half of setting out and adding commentary at all the points, it wouldn't save, then when I clicked on the Forum to check if anyone else was having issues, I lost the route. For some reason it wouldn't recognise Geelong as a city, so couldn't save the route. Very annoying, 90 minutes of time lost forever... Seems like it had 'logged me out' whilst I was creating the route.migz05 wrote:so we start there and just check out the surrounds?ecosse wrote:You lot may have seen this

Hey fellas, awesome ride, it's always good to get on the saddle and ride with a great bunch of guys..plus the views we had a Williamstown wasn't too badOzzie wrote:Good solid ride today gents with eight riders in total thanks to the wind yet again.
So next week weather permitting we leave at 7.30 from Degani for a ride to Williamstown over the punt to Port Melbourne then down to Mordiallic and back returning the same way. If the weather looks dodgy late in the week we will do the usual run leaving usual time. So who is keen ?

I think that the punt starts at 9:00am at the weekends and its about 1 hour from PC to Newport. Either leave PC at 8:00 and catch the punt or leave earlier and go around via Footscray Road and Docklands. Its also a good 30km from the punt landing down through Port Melbourne, Beach Road to Mordiallic. A round trip of about 110km from PC so no problem...
Weather already looks a bit iffy for the weekend unfortunately.
