Yeah, you passed us as we sat up and waited for the slowbies just past Spence shops and I said hi as you passed. Then I said hi again on Owen Dixon. Obviously not loud enough...twizzle wrote:Ah, were you in that group that passed me?mrgolf wrote:Spotted a rider this morning that looked suspiciously like twiz this morning on Owen Dixon Dr.

Please accept my apologies anyway. And good luck for Saturday, but the finish should suit you anyway.

No probs. just wasn't sure you recognised the cheerio.
A bit sick right now so 50/50 on racing. Have heard the final climb is still considered a sprinters finish. If I race I won't be pulling big turns or mounting breakaways so the sprint might have to be my only hope. Choose wheels carefully. You racing?

BTW if anyone was yelled at by a guy in a blue Subaru wagon this evening on the way out to Belconnen, it was not abuse but me on my way to pick up and bike and trying to say that your tail light was virtually dead.
I passed four riders on the road; one with a single blinky hidden from most angles by panniers, the guy with the dead light, one guy with a very visible one, and one guy with nothing. Brave souls!

I'm itching to be back on board my bikes. I haven't ridden in 3-4 weeks and have been dealing with some pretty serious asthma. over 2 weeks off work - no music practice no nothing. for about 10 days i could barely get from my lounge to my room.
But things are looking up again - here's to next week (crosses fingers)...

Probably Vikings Cycling Club paceline bunches, fast bunch average speed was about 32/33kmh (it was pretty windy) and I think medium bunch was more like 27/28kmh. Heads out to lake G and back, fasties include shingle hill, focus is on smooth paceline work rather than smashfest. I'm not a club member so I'm not comfortable handing out invites but I'm sure you would be welcome, just send someone at the club an email and they'll give you the details (you may need to have a CA licence for insurance purposes, not sure). They are a very friendly bunch!d1 wrote:I saw two groups of riders out on the Federal Hwy heading towards Lake George on Sunday morning around 10am. Which bunch ride is this and where is the ride from/to? What is the average riding speed of the two groups?

Came down in the wet on Sun morning about a 1km from home. Thought it was only scraps and bruises but by Tues morning they had all gone away but my chest was killing me. Had Xrays and confirmed a fracture. Doc said about 3weeks off due to the location of the fracture. I did actually go MTBing on Mon night and it felt fine but will give it a rest. On holidays next week anyway and this will give me a good chance to clean the bike, straighten up the shifter and heat mould my new shoescp123 wrote:bugger - how'd you do that?
