A little ride, followed by a little coffee . Looking at , possibly, 9 or 15 December, with a 9am start.
How would that fit into your calendar?

Getting redheeler and andrewt onto the same work schedule proved difficult in'14.
My excuse, and I am sticking to the story!

Managed to get back with 60km on the clock, with hardly any rain, or blazing electric death from the skies. A nice warm up for the Cornelian Bay Friday Ride 0900hrs.

That is the reunion we are yet to have. Hopefully we will match some work schedules, and get together for a short easy ride, with post ride chat planned for the Dodges Ferry Bakery
Watch this space.

The 67 km solo ride meant that yet again, the DFBTR was impeccably Eco; that is, Carbon Free. Not much in the way of action/danger/abuse to report. Cool, calm and cloudy. In all a rather pleasant cruise. We need the Dictator back to extinguish such performance wasting frivolity. Never mind, there is the Cornelian Bay Friday Ride with Baz the Brutalizer to put things aright.

Late by a mile I suspect. DFBTR left upmarket Carlton at 7.01am this morning, to meet plumbing inspector in Sorell at 8am.AndrewTTas wrote:Author arriving a few minutes late to miss the gathered throngs for the DFBTR.
A great day for a bike ride. Perfect pace all the way. I arrived back home in magnificent sunshine at 12.15pm.

8 weeks of treatment hell left... and then hopefully a slow return to the bike. It's been a tough 40 weeks to date and my legs look like twigs. Feel like twigs too.AndrewTTas wrote:Maybe only a few months to go eh?

Today's ride was an easy cruise around Dodges and Carlton. 44ks of, catch-up and bike chat. Concluding at the Bakery, with uninterrupted opinion and analysis, (and coffee and pastry). In all a great success. If the weather is favourable, see you next week.

As far as the lack of hair is concerned, lets face it, cyclists spend thousands to get this type of aero
Bet you didn't know we even have a Richmond Bakery at Dodges !!!

It's good news, but..................AndrewTTas wrote: time is rapidly running out for payback..
I witnessed the event, and thanked my lucky star that I was riding in the opposite direction at the time.
Come clean Andrew, tell the truth......................Paul was out in front, with a strava smile from ear to ear, and you were, well, pedalling...................
Time has run out I suspect

I'm sure you will outdo me after a one year lay off !!!redheeler wrote: Hopefully, in the next few weeks I may be able to join you guys. Probably won't have the speed or the endurance after a 7 week lay off.
These days I take a camera crew (Andrew T) to document my exploits.

So off to Primrose Sands. Down through Carlton and along the river we went. Andrew, as has been the case since I got back on the road, pedalled at a pace that I could keep up with,
other than the times he felt the inclination to put the pedal down and fly up the hills. Left me languishing in the distance but slowed up till I was able to get back on his wheel.
So 50 kms and a good workout... for me, less so for Andrew I suspect. But any day on the bike in conditions like today is fantastic, and one of the great benefits of riding over to Primrose is that you hardly see a vehicle until you arrive back at Dodges.
So my Strava entry shows that I made improvements all over the course of the ride, including 2.8kmh faster average than the hitout over the same course a couple of weeks back.
Still felt like I was performing badly and it hurt, but maybe I can recoup the lost ground eventually.
A great day it was indeed !!!

Pleased to hear the self motivation protocols have kicked in, and the neuro suffering pathways appear active.
Credit wise, you should spend it at the Cornelian Bay Friday Ride. Relatively flat (except Grasstree but there is always someone to slowly chug up the Hill with). Seriously, I think you could manage. If no, join the Gents at RBWR, or I'll see you again at Dodges.

Those fellas at RBWR had better stock up on pain killers.

My comeback has hit a bit of a speed hump as I seem to be adversely impacted in doing a bit too much too soon since coming off treatment. Frustrating to say the least. I might try a different strategy. Short rides and more of them.
Anyhow, as far as the ride today that didn't happen all I have to say is one word... ICE. The roads were covered in it. Not a fan personally.

Warm as toast.
The ride home at 11.30, minus the rain jacket, was in perfect sunny weather.

The initial plan to do the Sugarloaf loop, was amended en route to a ride to Dunalley. A longer ride than initially planned. And naturally the amended 'gentle pace' was re-amended to 'how about a few Personal Records' pace.
The leg to Dunalley was excellent. Cool, dry, minimal traffic. Apart from one scary moment when a light truck looked like he was going to pull across the road in front of us, no real dramas. The enormous WagonWheels at the Dunalley Bakery seemed a bit risky though; packed with enough calories to get us both to Southport.
The return dirt road through Connelly's Marsh was hard packed, so offered no real challenge to the roadies. An amazing short cut for the return to Dodges Ferry.
Keeping with 100% tradition, the peloton basked in glorious sunshine outside the Dodges' Bakery on return. Pretty impressive for mid winter. Still plenty of it yet, let's hope our luck holds.
