Calender can be found here: http://audax.org.au/public/index.php?op ... Itemid=176
I am off to do the Gunning 150km this Sunday.
Will aim to do the Stairway to Corin 150km on 29th May too. (An undulating ride along Paddys River Road towards Tharwa, stopping in at Tidbinbilla Tracking Station, then to Corin Dam).

100km Stairway option also sounds good. I'm keen to go give Cotter-Tidbinbilla-Tuggers a crack in the next few weeks if anyone is keen. Would be a nice warmup for the Audax one

Not expecting any big group though. I think it's only in one group of 3 or 4.
The Cotter-Tidbinbilla-Tuggers ride. is it in the direction you mentioned here or the other way around? happy to tag along on this one.

Whats your PB record you are trying to beat? Mine is 360kms. Too intimidated to try to beat it.

PB was a few weeks ago, managed 336km. Best before that was 330. I'm thinking a 100 early in the week and another one at the end should help. And in-between a few 60-80km efforts. Knowing my luck now though it will rain the whole time

I missed the 'weekly' bit before PB in HAKS's post.mrgolf wrote:Er, yeah, thats what I meant. 360kms in a week... Most in a day is Fitz Challenge. Was going to do Goulburn and back in a day, but have run out of cycling partners.
I don't feel like such a wuss now.

Im secondary. I love the actual classroom stuff. The rest can get stuffed. I teach kids how to sound good and get gigs, have some self respect and not to take themselves too seriously. Not a bad way to get paid.rockviewau wrote:well the dept of education pays me every two weeks for allowing me to teach kids stuff like how to take photos, the difference between a scalloped and great hamerhead, the negative effects of shark finning, how bike riding can make u fit and all other stuff that i like....
