Good riding conditions this morning, nice temp, just a bit of rain and some wet roads.Wazza wrote:Hope you guys have had a good morning. I am sitting with Dad in hospital, doesn't look too serious. Fingers crossed
Highlights included -
Pit stop at the Uni Tennis club,
some guy trying to riverloop on a citycycle,
miraculous repair on a snapped seatpost bolt,
more mundane repair on a bystanders' carbon bike loose crank,
and a bit of CX riding through a section of "strada le mud" at West End.
Hope your dad makes a quick recovery and your weekend becomes yours again.

Hope your father gets well soon & it isn't too serious.
No video's from this mornings ride, some idiot pressed the low-light button instead of the record button.
5 riders this morning, Dan & Elantra up front, Velo 13 & Funnybike in the middle & moi slowing the whole show down at the back. Slight issue with a seat clamp bolt had us stopped at the golf course, eventually it was fixed with a little ghetto mechanics & nearly made it to the end without the seat sliding back into the frame. Rain began as we got to Dornoch Terrace, Dan & Velo 13 decided to head straight for West End & coffee, the 3 amigo's did the 'hard man' thing & toughed it out. I forgot to warn Elantra about the mud across the road at the 'Uni' (turns out the Uni of Technology isn't there at all, which was why nobody understood where the 'mud across the road at the Uni' was), was funny hearing a string of 'colourful' language from behind me when Elantra found out for himself that it was a 'bit' slippery, nobody went down, some cyclo-cross riding was called for & I got a giggle at Elantra's expense.
5 bikes out, 5 bikes safely back, that's got to be a pretty good result, the only issue came from the 'modern' bike (we should really ban these things from our rides, they're too blinking un-reliable) (sorry Velo, I just had to stick that in), the mud is on Riverside Drive, just after the Regatta Apartments section & the council has yet to clean it up, it is pretty slippery when it's wet.
Next Raturday will be from Blackwood Street Michelton to Nudgee Beach & return (I have to ride it tomorrow to make sure it is clear enough to ride), easy flat 50km round trip, just the thing for those of us doing the Prince Charles Hospital Charity ride on Sunday from Landsborough to Chermside. If the Kedron Brook bikeway is still a mess then we'll have to come up with an alternate flat easy 'warm up' ride.

Must have been the water I my glasses, as I didn't notice.
He who (without going into his range of MTB's) has a '12, an '05, an 02, a late 90's,a '97,an 89-90, a '85, a '83-4, a '78,a 77 and '76 model road bikes (oh plus the Superlite which I think is early 80's), see I've got nothing against modern bikes either, in fact I own a few.
Yeah I know, I was only over at his joint last week chatting to him, mistaken identity or maybe I did have Alzheimer's (just can't remember where I left it).

We wouldn't get to excited about what bike can be entered, as long as it looks the part. Not sure if a racing licence would be needed.
Any thoughts?
