Wal, Vaeske & myself will also be in the 100k from Landsborough. Wal should be on his Vertex, Vaeske on a Moser and me, we'll I haven't decided yet. We will be taking the train to Landsborough so we might see you there.BrisVegas wrote:I entered the Cycle of Giving ride the other day. Doing the Landsborough start. Should be fun, as I've never ridden north of Redcliffe before.

I sent an email to the organisers and got a reply telling me that there will be confirmation, T&Cs sent for Sunday's ride either Wednesday or Thursday.Wazza wrote:Wal, Vaeske & myself will also be in the 100k from Landsborough.

Jokes aside kudos to the organiser/Queensland Rail for even going that extra step and providing the express charter train to Landsbrough. It was always going to be a squeeze getting everyone on but it only took 65mins to get the 80km there from the City. Can't also forget to thank the volunteers that helped out to make the ride possible. Final thank you goes to the rider who knew how to finish in style by launching off a the most stupidest installed speed bump ever at the finish line

Was surprised to see so many riders leave landsborough today !
Spoke to some lovely people all day passing them, passing me,at water stations etc.
Wore my evil knievel getup today ( it was a charity ride afterall )and finished just in 3h30mins dead.
Only gripes, no water stops from caboolture to chermside. About 60klms with no water stop which was supposed to have 2 stops in the 100klm ride and the late arrivals coming back to the sunny coast would have drama as the next train to landsborough was 6pm, pretty poor !
Otherwise, great event ! Even got sunburn (who wudda thunk it ? )

We stopped at a little shop at a corner off the seafront at far end of Brighton
Ah well, not to worry, we survived !

I'd do it again I reckon. Thanks to the organisers on a job well done. There was stacks of food and drinks at the stops and the free train up to the start was great.

no idea. The bunch I was in suited me just fine. I think you're right, there'd have been guys that were miles ahead.wurtulla wabbit wrote:So the lead bunch was only 15min in front of us (me and 2 mates) ??

Good to see so many out and I hope the event continues for many years to come.
After the ride I spoke to one of the organisers, she's asking if anyone has any camera/video footage from the ride if they would be willing to send a copy to them for publishing on their site, especially helmet cams etc. (Wal42?)

A massive brawl almost errupted when a pack of hungry hungry cyclists turned up to the tent to see who would claim the last remaining snag.wurtulla wabbit wrote:missed the Westpac complimentary sausage sizzle as I was to busy dying on the grass !
But disaster was averted when a refilled plate of freshly hot cooked snags came out a couple seconds later

They would like too but many don't at all. I think they raised 900k last year for MS.jasonc wrote:re Brissy to Bay - they really expect all participants to raise $200?
