LOL... I'll meet you in the carparkOxford wrote: leave at 2:30am, ride to Landsborough for 6am start. ride course in reverse so if you do not make it in time you just turn around and get on the back. five weeks to get fit. sounds like a plan to me.
I guess it's good practice for the Ipswich 100 miler in April which I'm also lining up for

I'll be the dude dressed up as an Assos banana. If you see me say hi.
So who else is in? I'm told this is a real feel good ride. It's a super good cause and they run it really well. I've just washed the bike to within an inch of it's life and I'm pumped!

I'm riding up from Kallangur to meet the ride, hopefully in time for the start.

See you there, Comedian. I'll look out for the big bananaComedian wrote:Who would like to give this a nudge? It's free.
I'll be taking the velomobile but will be riding it to the start line (Caboolture) from home - couldn't be bothered ferrying it with a car and then having to collect the car - I'd rather just ride home from the PCH. That will give me 120km for the day which is enough for my knees. I'll be leaving home at 4am to make the registration time. Hopefully there won't be too many drunk drivers around at 4am on a Saturday
I would have loved to start from Landsborough as the scenery would be splendid. See you when I see you.

Considering the frequent stops, that's a good pace! Ditto to the organisers - well done and I might try the ride from Landsborough next year. The police (in the end) were very helpful directing traffic but they expected us to ride in the gutters a little bit too much - a couple of folks got flats as a result. One of them actually said that 'car drivers are being forced to overtake on double lines...'. Err. OK.Comedian wrote:Wohoo... survived. It was pretty good fun. We had a bit of a blast early on (I found myself out the front until the shop) but we had to slow down a bit to keep the group together. Only downside was a bit of waiting at various points. Anyway, great cause and great ride. Thanks to the organisers and I wish them well with getting the message out there.

The ride up to Caboolture in the morning was lovely - watching the sun rise slowly and listening to the birds with the smell of eucalypts (and manure) adding to the ambience.
Great to see you again Comedian. Sorry we couldn't chat for longer but I had to get home for a big lunch followed by a nana-nap
Cheers!

I believe the organisers were very happy with the turnout... they got 219 or something like that. The biggest ride by far for them. Hopefully next year there will be even more.
It's a great ride.. they put of free food and drinks for everyone.. there are celebs there too. (I was like 5m from Jessica this morning and the wife said hello to her at the finish). And it's free.
It has been a good reminder to talk to my family about this as you can't take your bits with you and I'll talk to the dudes at work too.. if it just gets people to talk it's done it's job.
