With Andy's 0630 starts, shouldn't be a problem. Otherwise, pedal faster. :cheesy:QuangVuong wrote:Oh, just noticed its the Sat. I know it starts at 6:30am, but whats the approx time it'll take to reach the end and return? Would need to be back home around 1pm.

I doubt anyone would even glance. Too busy peering through the rain specs. As long as you have 'retro-intent'. And surely we can't have another Saturday like the one just gone.sunho wrote:I will be in for this day pending weather! My wet weather bike might not be retro enough..

No Trackwork on NS line flagged. A miracle in itself.Joe H wrote:Thanks for organizing another ride! I'm in for this Saturday but my wife has to pass - she's arranging a ride for moms and kids at Centennial Park. I'm checking transport options but Paul's train option may be my best bet. I'll confirm before the day.

Tempe or Woolli Creek stations are the closest, check that the trains do stop here though. Nxt is Sydenham, a bit further but more likely a stop.

You OK with that, Andy? One of us will phone/SMS to confirm we're on track. You guys will be about same time along Qantas Drive track.
Yes, realised I didn't have a spare tube; got one today.

Anyway, the forecast is looking really good for the whole week.
And hopefully my bar tape arrives today otherwise I'll have to run bar tape less.

What color of tape are you after? I have some extra bright medium blue tape I could bring along - we could wrap 'em up during a coffee stop. It's not suited to anything I own and one strip is on a cricket bat now (yes, a Yank was allowed to buy a cricket bat, and wore out a handle cover) but I'd be happy to strip that off if you want.

Hope to have the fitness back up a bit by the next one. TG for those red lights. --->
The steelies were like jewels in a sea of ordinariness. Well, that's how we see it when a creaking/cracking carbon goes past.

Andy, great route - thanks! I'll probably take the family to the park/island on Sunday. I'll post a couple of pictures.
The motley crew all lined up in the sun:
With all due respect to His Lanceness, it is about the bikes:
Just taking the views:
And then I shot over to meet the missus and kids at Centennial Park. I was having a sit down at the pre-arranged playground when what should zip by? Did that look like my bike? After a quick mount and hard chase, it sure was, an 86 Corsa Extra in Panasonic livery. The owner had it custom-painted in Melbourne and built up by Fyxomatosis. What a hoot! I told the owner about our rides and the retro rides site. I think he's way too fast for me but he's also about 30 years younger and had seriously good legs (just saying).
So then I chased my 5 year old around the park as she learned to ride without training wheels; I'm enjoying a well deserved glass of wine as I type. Thanks to everyone for another great ferrous (and carbon) ride!

Yes, great job on it. The lugs 'save' it... Just kidding.QuangVuong, sorry I got your message after the ride. Really cool retro carbon bike! The blue tape would have been too low rent for your bike.
