I knew the group would work against me on Water Tower as was indicated by the subtle hints for OurBelovedLeader to attack.
However I learnt that Master6 can sit a wheel and wont come to the front...however I have tactics........I can't use them all in the first few rides

Learned an interesting lesson here. I was under the impression that you could not edit a comment after it was preserved for posterity in a quote. Obviously not so.RobRollin wrote:You want me to buy him a coffee for chasing down the attacks?

Yes bazsand. Start in the carpark behind Richmond Bakery at 9.00 am sharp. One of the few cycling events anywhere that start on time. Rod missed it at 9.01am a couple of weeks ago.bazsand wrote:Ride is at 9am I take it
I may be able to make it this week.
Hope you can make it.

I'll put in a good word for you with BenevolantDictatorD; I'm sure he will find a spot on the starting grid for you Probably up the frontJinger wrote:Ok as soon as I get my first road bike and get up to speed with it (soo keen!). Me and a couple mates might join you if thats ok. We're all young guys (16-18)
I dont know what your cycling ability is; PMM sent along a fella of your age, Hugh, and he gave us a caning. Do a few rides to become accustomed to your bike, if this is going top be your first road bike, and make sure that you are comfortable over about 50 km. Our ride is usually 63km, and with the assistance of a bit of drafting, you will handle that Ok. Coffee at the end, and you will get to hear the latest excuses from some of us for lacklustre performance!!
Welcome.

BAM I am in on this one. This is during my scheduled 1 week of leave. Which I am lucky to get because my current leave balance is only at 12hrsBenevolantDictatorD wrote:Hi all. For those keeping an eye on this thread - the annual "two coffee gentlemen's ride" happens on Wednesday the 28th of December (normal start time of 9:00:00.000am). We will head down to Orford for the first coffee and back to Richmond for the second. There's a couple of undulations each way and the pace is generally slower than normal - but it is holiday time! Distance is 55kms each way.
