Dealing with the issue but all rides for a while will be either on the SS MTB or the Infinito.

I managed to clock 2000Km for the year over tonight and the ride felt very good. I've got the Murray to Moyne in a couple of weeks and should see around 200-300Km, I'm led to believe, over the duration.
cheers

Is that a parking type rack or one on the car? Hope it's not too much hassle getting it sorted out and paid for Graham.celeste boy wrote:A truck to a liking to the Bianchi Alu/hydro while it was on the bike rack today and it is no longer with us.

Went for a ride this morning and the lead guy who was 100m ahead went around a tight corner (At end of Moss Vale bike track under the bridge) and ended up off the track, down a ditch and into a barbed wire fence. Not too much damage luckily but we needed to check that he didn't have concussion.
How many fingers am I holding up? Two. correct
What is my name? Graham. correct.
It was then he said, 'Please don't ask me who the prime minister is now!'

I don't know whether it was David S. of gauntlet fame who gave a report on progress each week for the 6K club. Maybe in the absence of our signatures someone could take that on?

Absolutely lovely day for a ride today. Fronted up and got absolutely smashed, carved up, spat out and rolled through the dirt (started to come unhitched after a few 100m ). Alas, there was just me (no peleton to hide in) and my companion, a new guy who joined us for the first time last week. Luckily, as Tour Director I set the course and he had to stop every now and then to check where we were headed-it gave me a chance to catch up.
It wasn't all that bad, I am giving away about 25 years and probably almost as many kg and he is off to the National Championships for the Para Cycling in a few weeks; at least i now have 4 new PB's on Strava and a couple of third best times.
Note to Tour Director: less hills next time!!!

Hey, you threw the gauntlets and, after a week with no bike, you're still 100KMs behind me I've got my new bike now so I'll be back to the normal commute next week. Bloody good thing too, a week on the trains with the trials of Myki and overcrowding and I'll be glad to be pedaling to work again.celeste boy wrote:The triangle is invisible to me.

Be nice if we can get the sigs working again. I would be behind again now but not sure how much. Must make a small spreadsheet to check this if the sig doesn't return.

My year is going pretty well so far, and I'm planning on a big April, providing I can eat enough

If your heading for 150km why stop. Do a 161km and claim your first Imperial century. 100miles always sound pretty cool to me.riles wrote:really enjoying the challenge of getting the 6K in - yesterday did the bobbin head classic and then also managed to set a new ride distance record of 130km, topping my previous best of 111km - next stop the magical 150km mark!

Good idea Dave, especially seeing as I am ahead of the triangle for now. Anyone else who wants to see can add there sign below (in alphabetical order for those with OCD )DaveOZ wrote:since there are no signatures for now, I've posted a link to my bar to see how far behind I am...
