It's really not one of those rides for a 'wannabe pro' serious 'racer' type, it's just a bunch of old fogies (no insult intended as I'm one of the oldest), riding some different stuff, having a top time. I'm back in 2 weeks (hopefully) on either the Vantage or maybe even hopefully the Vertex (most of the gear is here or on the way).

Good to meet you Matt, i am in awe of your handling of riverloop on a fixie bike.matanthei wrote:Hmm, may try to join you guys, if I can make it in from Stafford by 6:45....
Pleasantly cool weather conditions and plenty of opportunity to chat about the big issues in life.
But Montague Road on a saturday morning is a bit dicy - the Davies Park Markets is a traffic hotspot.
Saw some woeful attempts at reverse parking.
Looking forward to next Saturday

A broken cleat put paid to our efforts, so we turned back to the start.
3 bikes & riders went out, 3 bikes & riders got back safely without damage or injury, so I guess you'd call that a successful ride.
Here is the link for the clip-

Waz told me today he's coming this Saturday(both vaeske & I bought stuff off him this week), myself & not sure who else.
Hopefully the Vertex will be on the road tomorrow, everything is done except taping the bars & putting a decent set of tyres on it (not happy with the 20mm Indonesian tyres fitted at present). I'm finished for the week on Friday morning, so I shouldn't have my eyeballs hanging out of my head this week (I really didn't feel like riding but enjoyed the ride anyway), we won't be running into the Ride to Conquer, hopefully no mechanicals, so should be a good day.
Expect to see you there munga, hopefully elantra too, gee we may even number 5 or 6, that'll be a good look.

Also trying to get a group together for the Bris 2 Gold Coast, I'm riding the Vertex so looking to see if anyone else wants to do the ride down & I'm doing an easy ride back afterwards, on retros, it would be good to get a good size pack together.
