I have the riding out of my system again now!
I haven't been off-road in close to a year, it was a damn good workout. I like the speed that my road bike gives me more though!

That makes you a fellow Canberran, seddo - we'll have to organise a ride some day.
My plans for the Uriarra - Cotter loop fell to bits. My phone rang a bit before the Three Sisters on Uruarra Road - I'd forgotten that I was meant to be taking my daughter to a football trial game (or, soccer as some would say). I had to absolutely belt back, and pick her up - it made the climbs out of Coppins Crossing my biggest tests.
I've got the next two days off, so I'll try again tomorrow (if it's not raining).

"I bet not many rode in Sydney today"
Yep, I did, 37km in the rain (heavy) on the Falcon fixie, with mudguards. Would have gone further except the Falcon is not set up with a good headlight at the moment and it was getting dark....

Currently in the midst of some work on the Fellini - changing the 16, 17, 19 tooth cogs on the 7 speed cassette and putting on a new Connex chain, as both the existing cogs and chain are fairly worn, and I've got to get it ready for a race with the Waratah club this Sunday.

Get used to it mate, it gets worse. I am constantly amazed at the actions of some pedestrians but that's okay, because just around the corner, you'll come across someone who does it all right. I use a bell, use it early and don't worry about giving a double 'ding'. Some peds ignore you, some don't recognise you, some freak and do some really entertaining things, most react appropriately and many will thank you for the warning.
So yeah, bells is good ... but be ready for the insane ones

LP - methinks I have along way to go before I will be able to keep up with you - but the offer is most tempting
