Australian Cycling Forums - Bicycles Network Australia

So what do you think, let’s start our own club where we can discuss women’s business, we can share pictures and stories of our rides.
Just like the book the red tent, we can share our rides without getting swallowed by the male riders.
Is anyone interested?

The blokes still poke their noses into the women's forum anyway!!!

heheh .. report post button

ok started my ride for the year with 114km. Epic for me. Lets see if I can keep it up

Well, that just blew my plans for posting out of the water

Nice ride this morning, I paced it easy. 32km

Secret women's club eh? I need to figure out how to work all these websites and upload my rides and add rides. I'm a bit dumb when it comes to that stuff.

you said it. There are only 3 of us in the other club so we get swallowed up. Here you dont have to feel shy to post any fat pictures or sexy ones.

But the men...they still look...

Yes, they can look but they don't touch

i've been meaning to get around to figuring out the bike journal stuff, after all, i already download to 2 sites, what's another (time spent off the bike on bike stuff starting to = time spent on the bike??? )

Haha that seems about right grasshopper, I don't think you'd be far off the mark

Well I'll join in as well but couldn't be bothered setting up another thing at this point in time.

I've done 234 kms so far this year. An intensity I will not be able to sustain post the Alpine Classic I suspect. Anyway, I did some hill efforts in Centennial Park this morning and felt terrible each time. No gain without pain I tell myself.

But thanks to Apple and Grasshopper I now know about Strava which is quite alot of fun.

This mornings ride, due to the school holidays I can squeeze in a longer ride, although the 5am start is a killer

Give me a few days and I'll attempt to post a pic.

Hey there Apple, join the ACF club on Strava!

Nice Lisa Nice, I am now following you. I am Pine Moore. This will make me chase you down.

You're ahead of me already Apple!

Setting a goal and then fessing up to it on a forum to a bunch of people that you've never met and may never meet is a great motivator to getting out there and clocking up the k's!

Set one and go for it, adjust it up or down if you need to....last year I set one of 4444 and then got sucked into all the fun/banter/gauntlet throwing of the 6666k club and then spent the rest of the year chasing down a red arrow

Because of it I have noticed a huge improvement in my riding ability!
