Good average speed and a very quick finish.
Two punctures for the group though. Apologies to Russ
I was torn between staying with you or hammering back to RHTC with the group. Wanted a bit of friendly "racing" so went with the group.

That said, it was a great pace doing a fast flat run and I really enjoyed it. Ended up with 94km by the time I got home!

can anyone join in, what day's, time, also im riding a flat bar hybrid, Scott sportster 30 mens.
would i be let down by the speed you guys travel at. i couldn't tell you my average at the moment, as ive has some fast groups and my regular saturday morning ride is a slow group.
just looking to get into some groups, would i be worth me coming with my bike, as its my commutor and my group ride bike, i have a road bike, but its not worth mentioning, its a department store bike. or would it be a waster with you guys on road bikes.

i will ride on the road when ever i can, although if im in a slow mood and im just cruising, i will roll along the footpath at around <10kph.
saying that, most footpaths around my area, western sydney, are the shared type, the wide ones with the white concrete.
im just not confident enough in riding along the road, so i chose to use a bike path and stay away from the roads, or a footpath in some cases and take it slow as im just cruising home from work.
im on a hybrid bike, so im definately able to use the road but with some road users, its just not safe enough.
If you are not confident yet on the road, bunch rides might not be right for you yet until you build your confidence.But if you ring the shop please let them know this so they can advise accordingly.

The slower group average approx 28/30 kph.Generally the riders ride road bikes for both the store rides. I am sure if you give the store a tingle they will advise further.Tim93360 wrote:interested in doing this ride sooner or later.. although it says "NB: If it is raining we will not ride" on the website.. any where to get advanced notice of whether a ride is going ahead or not say if it's been drizzling slightly? also i've only been able to manage an average of 20kph on my hardtail mtb over 80kms so far so am i going to be left behind by all the road bikers? still i'm gonna have to get up a lot earlier to catch this lol.

yeah generally it's the hills on my routes that slow me down (big surprise) but if it was all flat I think i could manage about 30kph..Schmenz wrote:i can only manage 20kms / hr as well so i guess that rules me out although it depends on the terrain i guess.

Not hard as far as terrain goes, quite flat actually,actual speed depends on the group of the day as well, its a good group ride, the slower one being a bit more chatty than the faster oneSchmenz wrote:i can only manage 20kms / hr as well so i guess that rules me out although it depends on the terrain i guess.

I think they figured I was a bit of a shark with the steel Kona with disc brakes and the trunk bag on the bag, but I'm commuting 42km 3-4 times a week lately and I normally ride as fast as my legs will let me. My apologies to the group, I broke ranks a few times because I'm used to cranking down the hills as quick as possible, I'm not afraid of cars, and the old big ring just wasn't getting enough work I think I might throw bricks in the bag next time, but after the pinch it occurs to me that I'm not necessarily good enough with my roadcraft to deal with an extra 5 kg in the boot
If you want to go for a bunch ride, you'll do well to get out there and have a crack. Very friendly, and if you want to feel like you're in the Tour you'll definitely feel like you're part of the Trek team with all the logos about
