The riders need to be born before the invention of the horseless carriage

Perhaps you should organise a sub 150 team for this year

All my spin classes are covered upto Saturday, I'm catching train/bus to work and I'm going to drop the 162k route at B2B, switching to the 70k route, which I will ride with a beginner rider.

I'm gradually getting worked up for it and will be starting a proper 3 month training sched in a week or two.
Cheers

But then I thought about you and slowed down a bit... plus it was one of those times that you had a feeling it could all go wrong in a flash.
Arrived in one piece.

Sydney Road Titles
Pros;
1. In Sydney, don't need to pay for a weekend away
2. Aged based grading, puts me in a strong position
3. Reasonable sized bunch
Cons;
1. Aged based grading, I'll put myself under pressure to perform, can't just hide in the bunch and mark one off.
2. Day before Ken Dinnerval

It's not about putting yourself under pressure, it's about riding smart!

Geoff offered me a lift this morning, does it make it easier for you if I take Geoff up on his offer?Strawburger wrote:Touch and go for the classic car ride down to the dinnerville this year mike. I'll let you know monday... The mechanic promised it would be ready but i have my doubts.

Spoke to the mechanic, he's not confident on the car being done by sat. I've still got a car to head down, it's not a classic nor is it roomy but it's a lot quieter You may not get to stretch the legs out as much as Geoff's but if you are happy with that then my offer still stands. I'll know if i'll get the classic back for the trip on Friday.mikesbytes wrote:Geoff offered me a lift this morning, does it make it easier for you if I take Geoff up on his offer?Strawburger wrote:Touch and go for the classic car ride down to the dinnerville this year mike.
