By the way I am not doing any of it so I cannot accuse anyone of doing a soft option regardless of what they go for.

Alas, I am lost. How do you include more than one quote when you go to Reply?

I am doing the Tour de Norfy, which is being sponsored by our regular Wednesday Richmond rider, Nigel Heaven of PMM Real Estate.RobRollin wrote:Hit quote on whatever has been replied to and that should do it

I want to incorporate two postings into a reply, and find that when I hit quote in the first one, I cant get to see the second one to hit the quote on it. Does that make sense?

There is one reason for me to race. The club champ in my div is on roster dutyskull wrote:It should be good, I am marshalling the vets race there on Sunday and will be hanging around.
I agree. Its nice to be spoilt with choice, the only downside is I still cant decide...BarryTas wrote:anyhew, jest and seriousness aside, this is looking to be a great day for local cycling
When you scroll down to see the previous posts in the Topic Review part, while you are writing yours, the quote button should still be in the top righthand corner of each reply.master6 wrote: I want to incorporate two postings into a reply, and find that when I hit quote in the first one, I cant get to see the second one to hit the quote on it.

However, I am facing peer pressure to upgrade to the 100k. Very daunting considering I have been on a mountain bike only for the last 8 years and pick up my new roadie this week.
How long does the 100k take?
I can usually push out 50k on the MTB in a couple of hours - down Kingston way where it's all hills.
I've been looking forward to this for a couple of months.

If you can do that on a MTB, the 100k on a road bike is within your reach.Giant Pete wrote:As a newcomer, I will be doing the 76k leg.

They were behind us. As the A graders started the first of the tour de norfy riders were starting to come down the hill before the pump house.RobRollin wrote:So who did it? Funnily enough I didnt see anyone at all today, not one Norfy rider only Vets.
I know BarryTas and Masters 6 rode the tour de norfy, also I say ray there this morning as well.
On a side note, driving back home after the vets race today there was an ambo going flat stick lights and sirens from norfik towards town. I hope it had nothing to do with the tour de norfy ride.

I did the T de N , but heard nothing of an ambulance. Saw a couple of people with minor leg abrasions, and heard that 4 or 5 people came to grief at the dreaded rail crossing. Apparently that is about par for the course.skull wrote:They were behind us.

A cool but dry ride, and , of course, "it wasn't a race".
LIARS!

Many riders turned up to the Vets and the ride back to town was a race after the race.
