We can blame barrytas and mcdurdin for this nasty outbreak. It appears to be contagious. See Doc asap.bazsand wrote:8am cornellian bay.......master6 wrote:Are there any rides east of the Derwent tomorrow?

its going the wrong way.
early morning ride down in cloudy conditions and a nice tail wind of 25kms and a balmy 9 degrees
coming back at noon it will be heavy rain, 8 degrees and a 40km head wind. Just the conditions RobRollin thrives in.

Can go a little slower if needed, but not much faster
Return by 7.30 am. Can leave a little earlier if req'd.
