Default Bunch ride 3

sheesh!!

that's some ride fellas... i was intrigued in joining you, but i doubt
the jello legs on the duallie would be able to keep the pace...

I'll be out riding Sunday, but definitely taking the 'wuss route'...
trails through deepdene, camberwell, ashburton, and south yarra and then
up to a slow, recovery coffee at Kanteen, before taking the yarra trail
home... sounds much more civilized!

Are you calling me dopey?

You reckon it would mimic my commute?! 78kph is something I don't hit
riding home that's for sure.. 73 maybe..

Maybe I should just try and meet you at the start and see how
long I last...

hippy

Yeah no secret training allowed for preparation.

I obviously didn't throw in enough side streets through Watsonia if
Dutch can remember it all.

Join the Nancy Route ride. Guaranteed not to hurt the legs until we meet
up with the EPO/Warrandyte bunch. The only sprint will be the first 50m
so we look good to the other group then the slackness begins (hmm might
have to work out some short cuts to get to Kangaroo Ground in time).

Hmm.. I've never been out that way.. I'm definately going to have to
plot the course out...

PS eddie. Im still up for that bike-swap if you are
work/life/starting-up-own-business is killing my free time tho...




No need to explain: My free time is currently being killed by
work/study/new baby, so 'nuff said.

But given that, I'm still happy to do the swap sometime, and the bike is
much cleaner and happier than it was before. Drop me an email and we'll
hash out the details.


And Hippy - feel free to join us if you like. We can both interrogate
you on what the 24hr race is really like as part of our 'training'!

i was going to type out the route but i couldnt be f'ed....Dutchy, great
job, especially when trying to describe Dave's intricate back street
route.......

PS: you forgot to mention that the stalet drivers were going at the
speed limit and we decided to show that patachi is not the only one
who can travel at 75km/h on the flat.........ok maybe it was abit
less. but im speaking to Lance armstrong this saturday and he said
he had some groath hormone left over ..........

cheers guys see you all for BR3........

Just a hint ... You'll need a 3-D plotter. HILLS
