Ditto. B2GC11-115. Riding back is the plan. Just got to spend the next three months training and getting my fitness back. And dropping the extra 7 kilos I'm carrying just now. I have to outrun Comedian, just this once...pumapants wrote:Registration done, number B2GC11-153. Anybody riding back?

That sounds like a good idea. I'll be in it. We could be the "Tight Arses" or maybe "Frugal" sounds more like a pro team.Yongkun wrote:Anybody keen to form a team? a few of us here, planning to join/form a team, save $10 from 75 to 65 team participation.
For team kit we could wear old white ts with "Frugal" scribbled in texta pens and maybe some sponsors names. Hey sponsors! There's another good idea...

Haven't registered yet. Tempted to register while the pre-sale is on to get $50.00 entry, cause I'm a big cheapskate.
I could ride back (yeah, I'm dreaming).
I need a 100km + ride in preparation for the Great Victorian Bike Ride in Nov/Dec. I missed the Brissy to the bay because I had the virus that is going around, so I am still cranky about that.
Cheers,
Anniegray

Get her to recruit a friend to ride with her - that way you get to both ride the course at your own paceldrcycles wrote:I'll be doing it with my girlfriend, i've managed to convince her to have this as a fitness goal for the year. I really want to do it on my own sometime and really smash it (first and last time i did it was 2008 with my MUCH slower brother- attempted it last year with my girlfriend but her bike had a terminal mechanical after only 12k, i wasn't going to carry on to the finish and leave her to the mercy of the sag wagon).

I'm doing the Bridge to Brisbane run in September. I might sign up for this too. Either with my wife on our old Trek MTBs, or I'll do it alone on the roadie.
