Pleasure. I've yet to get around to cleaning... It's STILL raining
3 Hours 20 ride time here, 86km.
Was very nice, more company will be good next time

Actually never gone riding with that group before but I don't think pace is what they are after. Should be a comfortable pace I would have thought.HAKS wrote:Yeap, what speed do they average?

Fine - come out to Stromlo and see if you can beat my 1:37 lap.

Hmmmm could be a bit slow. I'm guessing they go as or near to the speed of the slowest rider/ or have regular catch up spots?

I think they re-group at a few points. At least at Cotter Reserve, and Stromlo Observatory t-junction. These 2 will probably the rests on the way back.HAKS wrote:Hmmmm could be a bit slow. I'm guessing they go as or near to the speed of the slowest rider/ or have regular catch up spots?

I really *want* to do crits, just to damn scary. You should come do the 300 next saturday, it's a loop ride so you could treat it like a long crit tracktwizzle wrote: Fine - come out to Stromlo and see if you can beat my 1:37 lap.
