The pace started out all rather gentlemanly and it was a nice tight bunch, we split once we hit the hwy and the lead group ended up with 7 or 8. Coming down bust my gall hill into Buckland the pace got just a smidgen fast and the slower descenders got dropped. Andrew disappeared at Buckland and I sure hope he turned around and went home as the second bunch through said they didn't see him.
Eric completed a 10km ITT to catch back up with us (and a bloody good effort there as we were moving along at around 35+km/h during that part) anyway as the lead bunch regained composure, for some reason the taxman and dogga decided they didn't like bunch riding. They put the hammer down and we strung out to a series of groups consisting of 2,2,1,1. The taxman and dogga couldn't be reigned back in, however the rest of us worked together to get into Orford.
At Orford the remainder caught up and then drinks, food and conversations were had.
We headed back home and the return leg was a group effort into the wind and we all kept reasonably tight with the exception of a few segments here and there. More food and drink was had at Richmond and everyone seemed happy.
For the insane of us that rode into Richmond, well we rode back home over Grasstree. It hurt a lot. Dogga bonked with about 5kms to go from his place and was looking rather sorry for himself.
Overall absolutely smashing ride and a great bunch of blokes to ride with, I am hopefully going to be able to get onto next Wednesdays "it's not a race" ride and no doubt will enjoy that too.

The Frenchman, on the single speed, with little cycling experience, and a big red bag balanced on his handlebars, is probably still walking. Met him north of "Break me Neck", and he wanted to know about the flatest course to Hobart. Left leg was sore a few days ago, so he started pushing with the right leg. Now right leg is sore. He is planning to head to the west coast.RobRollin wrote:Sounds like a good ride, is there anyone still out there riding?

Can you suggest a flat course to Queenstown.

Having ridden 900km in the last week and a half has made me a little but exhausted (Yes I am in need of some HTFU).
However I am off for some HTFU training on Thursday through to Sunday in Canberra, so am going to take it easy tomorrow and stay off the legs. That way I can get some quality training done whilst I am away.

New Zipped extender is leaking. And riding on less than 140psi in the rear Gravity Zero is not ideal

The darkest of dark horses, "Midnight Jackson" bolted over the water tower hill, and Ross the Bikeman was leading at the re entry to Richmond.
Listen carefully over the next six days, and you will surely hear the cry "Oh to be in Sunny Richmond next Wednesday'
