Photos? LOL you are possibly the only person in the city who knows what the bike looks like LOL I think Dan and Charles reckon I'm addicted to 25s

[g-boaf]

DAMN YOU weather

And the damn flu as well. I also left work late. Looking forward to it tonight as well. It has been raining a lot here in Merrylands and it looks like more coming.

Haha fair point... welcome to the family

[Xplora]

If I ever get around to a Project One, I'm getting it marked "Team H______" just to make it official

I have to say, having it next to the 58, it's really growing on me fast. The racier vision is nice; 11 speed and deep dish next on the chopping block Dan said he wouldn't accept 11-32 LOL but there is something nice about a 23 and 32 flip hehehe

BTW Zozz, I still haven't met you on the Tuesday ride - are you going to grace us with your presence again?

I need to let his tyres down so he doesn't keep taking my KOMs... I cut 9 seconds off my best time on Gilba and he was still a second in front! (I'm warming up first next time and taking the Madone next time LOL)

went out at 5pm, two drops of rain and a dry path

I hit the path from Norwest at about 5:45 and went down to cowpasture rd and back.

Ditto, couple of spits of rain, and dry path.

I also determined that 86 gear inches on the track bike is too tall on the road/path here lol

holy cow... 86

i run 76ish 46x16 and seems quite right with the TNFPR run.

until they decide to go bananas on the down hills and flats..
Have seen ridiculous cadence trying to tuck in behind Zozza down the Equestrian on his 53x11 at full blast...

Yeah, I cbf changing the ratio from last time I was at the track. Ran 80" as my regular road ratio for the last 2.5 years with no worries. Even did some hills (cat 3 & 4 stuff) on 80.. although the hills in Perth aren't that big and the rest of the city is fairly flat.

Might go back to 80 for my next adventure, or down to 49/17... legs feel suitably stronger today though! a few more runs and I might not even have to gear down lol

What's it like today for rain... If I get away on time from work, might make it down to Prestons tonight.

I'm officially bowing out of tonight, should be great for tommorrow though

I work just off vardys rd/sunnyholt intersection and its all dry here currently. Clouds look like they are heading eastish... slowly. I'd go out tonight if I had my gear/bike

Good luck, the big man allways keeps some in reserve

Only saw 4 other people on the way back, two on TT bikes and the others I don't know who they were. Ended up talking with a couple of truck drivers who are a bit interested in bike riding.

By the way, watch out for the cow-poo between Cowpasture Road and Lizzy Drive. It's still there. Ran over some of it too.

I'll see if I can make it down there tomorrow if I get away from work early enough. Feeling better today too, flu effects are wearing off.

[Xplora]

How are we looking for tonight >> I see blue skies!

[g-boaf]

I'm stuck here at work until later - so I won't get home early enough. Also really tired too.
