BR: Quick detour to work

Yep, duly noted. I have no idea about bunch riding as I was very much
the lone rider (think western movie) until BRs. I think it may be right
that I hardly get to draft people ('cept Lindsay) when we're going for
speed as that's really the only place that it's essential (draft or


We could really get some power down if we all took turns on the front.
20-30 second turns, then filtering back and working up to the front
again. I guess the traffic and bends in the road would cause issues
with this tho..

maybe we could even get good enough to ride Beach Rd one day!

perhaps one day Bitch roaders might be good enough to up some hills :

OK, so it wasn't the steepest hill on the GVBR, but still, a 400m
pimple? And which beach road riders go out to country Victoria,
anyway?

Me too. But I ride there on Saturdays. Don't want to ride there agai
on Sundays. Personally, I like beach road when you ride with a goo
bunch (i.e riders who work well together - e.g Bay Riders.). It'
always nice and fast on the way back

I reckon we need an aus.bicycles entry. No cycling, just everyone
sitting in front of their respective computers. Okay maybe a cycling
shot at the end at Smiths Gully.

Holy crap, I was close to that time the day I went in reverse direction
down that climb.

One of these days I will jump on your wheel at the bottom of the climb and
then overtake you right before the top bwwaahahahahaha........yeah.....and
monkeys might fly out of my but!!!

Seriously, that is way too fast for me.....as I said on Sunday, you need
25kg or so of ballast to get you up to "correct weight" for the climb

So who is going to be the first to time from the hairpin of the "goat track"
back up to the T intersections at the top?? Maybe if we can convince DaveB
to go that way one week he could list the climb on cycle2themax or whatever
it is as I am way too lazy to do that.

Ride On,

Gags
