What about meet up on the evening before ?Max wrote:I'm up for a rest day meet - maybe a get-together in the afternoon? Or were people thinking of some sort of outing earlier in the day?
Max
then if there are some of us uncommited to a rest day activity some plans might be made.
On another note, i had some CQ-related fun this morning.
In the good old days cardboard bike-boxes used to just fit snugly into the back passenger space of a sedan car.
These days either cars have got smaller or bikes have got bigger because there was no way this one was gonna fit.
I wont let on how i eventually managed to transport it from bikeshop back to home.
Then to cap it off i tripped and broke my toe

If you want to meet the half way crew we should be settled in and thirsty by 5pm on the rest day. We won't really be there any earlier.

Sounds good to me! Perhaps we should all swap our phone numbers via PM, so we can find each other in the thronging crowd?elantra wrote:What about meet up on the evening before ?

Told them to keep an eye out from Stanthorpe for two 6ft3inch sub 80kg missiles, who will probably have a beer welded to their hand when not on the bike.

will try to make this but as i am a part-time riding volunteer i might have "work commitments"the grid wrote:5pm rest day in the cafe?
Because of the "volunteering" commitments i have not planned anything for the rest day yet.
Gotta get there first i guess.
Can't wait.
P.S. broken toe is no impediment to riding a bike

Bloody hell! I knew it'd be cold, but I was still in denial about it. I might add a few things to the bags this morning!OldGuysRule wrote:3 degrees in Stanthorpe for Tuesday morning. Hope everyone packed something warm.

There is much packing going on here. I just spoke to my ride buddy and found out his definition of taking it easy over 450k and five days is averaging 30. God help me.

Today's ride was a mixed bag. I joined two other girls not long after leaving camp and we rode well together. They set a cracking pace (guessing avg 33kph which is fast for me). I was baked by the time we reached the first stop. In hindsight, I should've taken it easy. After the rest stop, the rest of the ride felt super-tough. Bonk city
Still, it was fun. Not sure how I feel about tomorrow's ride!!!
