Sorry, but I don't think it's going to happen for me this time around. I've been sick for the last three weeks, have ridden less than 100km since the Gong ride and haven't raced at all. I'm still a bit under the weather and don't know if I'll be able to get any sort of fitness for such a long ride. I really want to, though - really, really, really.
Let me know how it goes. I'll expect lots of reportage. If things change before then, I'll let you know.

There's the stuff at Campbelltown adn I *think* there's some work being down a fair way further south on the rock walls.
I drove down at the end of October but can't recall what sort of should is left to ride on

Legally you're supposed to get off at Brooks Road then rejoin the F5 at Narellan Rd. (http://www.strava.com/segments/f5-bypass-668389)
You *could* stay on the F5 and exit at Campbelltown Rd and rejoin at Narellan Rd.

Ahh, thanks for that! We just worked out on facebook that Matt (addict) can stay over my place the friday before, then we'll catch the first train to Macarthur (6am)then ride Narellan road to the Hume Hwy. Then it's all uphill till Moss Vale, and relatively flat till Canberra Lets hope for a sunny day..hannos wrote:Legally you're supposed to get off at Brooks Road then rejoin the F5 at Narellan Rd.
