Yep had a great morning out(except for the little whoops on the way home )

Good to ride with a big bunch (my first time).

As long as my new rear mech hanger turns up in time , hope to be there next saturday.

Thanks to a couple of the guys that towed me along for half the day(or more)

I would not bet on it. There is a 50% chance that Jule liar will cancel Australia Day.

there was talk of a 8am start, but no email yet.

also i would like to note. year to date i have ridden more kms than Master6. i only want to mention this now as it will not last for very long or master6 has just not updated his kms

Barry why haven't you added the km tool bar to your sig yet!

My kms will have a good increase once I stop this silly mountain biking faze I am going thru at the moment. So much harder to do the extra kms when riding singletrack up and around hills.

We'll sort that out at a later date.

He is crafty like that, he found me on facebook and I don't use skull or anything that resembles my real name and my profile picture isn't me.

Also you can hide rides on Strava which dont sow up...I found this a useful training tool

Training is the sowing of a seed I suppose. How about sharing your training tools with us Rob?

email from the CEO.......

Yes we have a public holiday Thursday !

So Dome Cycling rules apply …

There will be no 6:00am morning ride

But there will be an 8:00am gentlemen’s ride (all that means is that it’s not a quick as a Saturday run !)

The course will most likely be seven mile beach and return.

.....translates to.........
DOME Pre ride (AT) 7am sharp, turn right at cambridge and do Grasstree

Pre ride...Bonnet in the morning pre Dome ride.

No Master6 today, guessing he was reconning the course for Sunday. I ended up off the front, solo'd for 35ks and repeats of Tunnel Hill. Good ride for me.

Master6 is a specialist Saturday Domer. No need to check the course for Sunday, as it is a ride for true gentlemen only, and I aspire to finish with every other starter. Are you joining us on Dales' canter?

Are you interested in riding up on Friday morning, or do you need to do your bit to keep Australia running?

My sincere thanks to the working class

No I cant make it on the Friday

Hell atm, not sure I would make 220kms following your wheel on the Sunday

Hi Guys, I know this has been put up before but to verify if it is still valid , Would anyone mind me joining the Saturday ride and if not what are your times for the Non elite Group? I rode a fair distance with some guys a few weeks back whilst comming up the Howden hill and would love to join for the social and of course the coffee after

Thanks

I am a regular participant on the Dome saturday rides, and I am sure you will be most welcome. Elite? No, not here We are all pretty ordinary, and very varied. The main ride leaves at 8am on saturdays, and there is usually another ride for "recuperating" riders a little later. I am responding in case none of the Dome leaders see your enquiry.

Send your enquiry to Peter at the following address:-

domecycling@bigpond.com

Look forward to meeting you.

Thanks Masters see you on Saturday, from all accounts you are right up front with the other mere mortals like me hanging way down the wheel,LOL

ah, that was a great Dome ride, as i did race the next day i gave the legs a flogging up some hills. Good riding santa who would have done 20kms more than me, Dogga you missed out one a good ride....your work has a lot to answer for.

ride - http://app.strava.com/rides/7080957

the only traffic upset was the tool that pulled across 3 lanes of traffic on davey st - the busy st - during the weekly market at lunch time without using his indicator. For a few seconds i found myself chasing him down....then i realised what i was doing

Thanks Barry.

If you and Geoff keep flogging me up the hills , I might even be able to keep up one day.

i flogged myself and asked the taxman to help with the pace, but he was he was having none of that
