The mob out on Galston Gorge every Sunday are embarrassing.biker jk wrote:On a popular climb here in Sydney I have seen riders from certain clubs climbing three abreast.

That's why I ride solo or with a friend or two. Don't want to be associated with bunch rides.

Well the South Aussies I have met at the race have been most supportive of my blog at least.
I have painted the race in a positive hue.
