So getting to / off at Redfern is going to be OK? Not so much worried about me, more so losing my bike!
Otherwise I'll just get off at Central and ride down.
Plus, most derros, regardless of where you are, aren't up at that time of the morning.

If you see a tall guy on an XL Malvern Star C5 (probably with a BikeHub jersey on, but thats subject to change on the morning!), say hi.

Our team is starting at 7am. I'll be the guy in the Powerade Riding Kit on the Merlot coloured Hillbrick. My official start time was 6:30am, but they stuffed up and gave me a Green Bib. We got our whole team moved to 7am because certain members of our team thought 6:30am was too hard for them. Even with a 7am start I have to be up at 4:15am, so dinner and early night for me!familyguy wrote:I'll be starting about 7, despite my 6:30 time slip. I'm always late to Gong Ride starts for some reason...

Took us about 3.5 hrs rolling time, which I am happy with.
Glad the rain stayed away too.

3:25 rolling for the course for me, with 4:05 to crack the century back to my mates house in northern Wollongong.
Had a great day. There were a few morons, but you expect that. The highlight was the guy with the track pump in his backpack.

If it was a red BMC then that was likely me. I left Gymea at about 8:15 forgetting the gong ride was on. Would have been at Waterfall by 8:45 where I turned around and headed for home.familyguy wrote:I saw someone in BNA kit (the black one), but pretty sure the bike was orange. Might've been a BMC though. Kit looks pretty neat on the road.

of us managed 2hr 32m for the ride.
Weather turned out good after the light rain. Looking forward to next year already.

DId anyone see if the tall blonde girl in the blue dress on the cruiser finished?
She looked amazing, and very fit, but I saw her pull over just past B-l-Sands, looking quite dejected.
Best bike award for me goes to the 8ft tall dude on the 5 ft tall, double cross bar yellow bike - Tallest man in the world!
