Ken Self were organising rides from the shop on Mon, Wed and Thu nights, 6pm. Wed was supposed to be a faster ride I think...

Barry, had a good ride with Dome this morning, spent a lot of time up the front to try and redeem myself after my drafting effort on Saturday :) We averaged 30km/h there and back - 33km/h on the return. Dead calm. Motor-paced (um train-paced) on the way back. Beat the train handily.

Rob - nice to see you on the DOME ride. The website I mentioned was http://www.strava.com/ It's lots of fun for tracking rides and competing virtually on your bike. If you decide to subscribe let me know, I have discount 'sign-a-friend' coupons.
