Gotta get to bed now, heading into the Mountains with Winona and friend at 5.00am in the morning, after a series of late nights

Great plan...love your thinking...You know where to find riding buddies if you do thatgoneriding wrote:I'd love to have another crack at this. I might have to earn some big brownie points to fly up for the ride. It might even warrant a crack at O'Reilly's the day before as a warm up:)

I figure with my cycling being what it is, the only time I will ever be first is in the registration process.

Feel free to jump on board and get a lift home.
Also thinking of ways to get up to brissie for the start - thinking of taking the train from burleigh and ride from tweed to the station(can detour and pick people up on the way if interested) ... it does make for a very arly start though!

My mum lives in Currumbin, and she gets the train up to Brisbane for the event. The train usually arrives just on the ride's start time. You're right, it makes for a very early start, but it beats driving up!Scuba23 wrote:Also thinking of ways to get up to brissie for the start - thinking of taking the train from burleigh and ride from tweed to the station(can detour and pick people up on the way if interested) ... it does make for a very arly start though!

rocky to brissie on the train would be a bit of a mission for a 100km ride... any one know how many people they had riding last year?brades68 wrote:I'll be flying down from Rockhampton, stuff the drive!

There is also an Amy Gillet ride being organised in/around Rockhampton for the 1st August with 25, 60 & 100km rides. I'll post details once they are received for anyone nearby.
Cheers

I am a newbie, I would like to do this ride, but am a bit concerned about having a mechanical breakdown on the way. I can do basic maintenance. For those who have done this before, do they have any mechanical support in case you get stuck?
Thanks,
Anniegray
