I replied to snark in this thread 'Amy's Ride Geelong 2012' http://www.bicycles.net.au/forums/viewt ... 14&t=47978 regarding the ride tomorrow.Ozzie wrote:Hi guys with the predicted 40 degree day Monday Luke and I are thinking of taking the shorter 70km loop option. We will make a call on the day subject to the weather but the ride starts and travels the same route before spliting for the shorter 70k and longer ride 120k ride.
Catch you in the morning Colin.
It would be good to meet you guys if you make it down, so feel free to say g'day. My avatar is my leg, and I'm bib #975.
I am changing jobs shortly into the new year, so hopefully I won't have to work Saturday's, and can possibly get in extra rides, including a few up your away.
Anyway, best of luck, and have a good ride tomorrow.
Cheers,
John.

120km ride
The 120km route will be available for riders registered in speed groups of 30-34km/hr or 35+km/hr ONLY.
Our concern for every participant’s safety includes minimizing ‘riding time’ to 4 hours or less when in extreme heat. For this reason and for the safety of riders, the 120km route is no longer available to riders registered in speed groups 25-29km, 20-24km/hr and under 20km/hr. All riders registered in the 120km ride in these speed groups are advised to participate in the 70km ride and have been reallocated accordingly. Riders may not be supported by the event organisation if they participate in the 120km ride on the basis of these revised arrangements.

Just got back on the bike and enjoying cycling again. Live in Sanctaury Lakes
My ave speed is 25kph and distances are around the 50km mark at this point.
Do any of the group rides cover this distance or are they all 80km plus ? Don't want to hold the group up !!!!
Would be good to meet and ride with a few locals.
Regards
Jeff

I'm also from Sanctuary Lakes so if you like we could ride to Point Cook Town Centre together. i won't be around this Saturday but will definitely in the coming Saturdays. btw.. if i can keep up on most saturdays then i'm sure you will most likely be able to keep up. riding becomes a lot easier when you're riding in a group.

I might see about coming to join you guys some time.Ozzie wrote:

I'm in Caroline Springs at the moment, and Google Maps puts my ride into Point Cook at almost exactly 20KM which doesn't sound too bad!

My house is currently being built in Saltwater Coast (should be done by March with any luck!) and I'm planning on commuting to North Melbourne once I move down. I've done the ride a couple of times, it's a touch under an hour if you don't have a blasting headwind and reasonable traffic.Jeffa32 wrote:Does anyone commute into the CBD from the Point Cook area?

Driving? That's blasphemy isn't it!?!Ozzie wrote:Hi David the more the better. We have a new rider recently join our group who drives from caroline springs for our rides on Saturday's and another who drives from Lara so there is some committed travelers.
Anyways ... I'm still very new to this whole cycling caper, so it might take me a little while yet to reach the point where I'd be able to mix it with you guys.
I'll get there though ...
