I am definately looking forward to leaving home at 0430h......

We have a group of about 10 guys from work riding together and today one of
the guys gave a pre-ride brief.......it was power point presentation that
mentioned hydration strategies, what food to take, clothing, etc. He also
went through a map, pointing out significant landmarks and giving us the
initial rest stop plan.

The closing slide was the 7 p's....prior preparation and planning prevents
**** poor performance.

We is ready to roll...........

Ride On,

Gags

My LBS was crowded tonight with people stocking up on gear and pickin
up their serviced bikes

Good luck to all. Have a cushion prepared at home for after :

What a classic! Wish we had a presentation like that. We've got a grou
of around 15 of us from AAPT doing the ride this year, many of whom di
the ride last year. Look for us in our AAPT uniforms.

Have a great ride everyone

I'll keep an eye out, you riding the mtb?
We'll be wearing red jersey's with a white CSIRO logo on the back..
there's about 25 of us in that uniform and about 15 other "splitters" with
another csiro branded jersey..
i'll be headed to sorrento first and will sacrifice a few chickens on the
ferry in order to get a tailwind similar to last years from geelong

He actually did hand out hard copies of the presentation and did mention
something about preparing a dot-point list of major landmarks, rest stops,
etc for on the day. Gotta love those anally retentive roadies........

I am hoping to see everyone there but things are not looking too
good......wife and two kids have been crook all day (temperature and
vomiting).......unfortunately we don't have any immediate family in Melb for
me to ring up to look after them tomorrow so I might have to stay at home
and play nursemaid.

I am shattered.....I have been looking forward to this for months and I am
keen as mustard for tomorrow.

The wife says she will let me know how she is feeling in the morning (I am
not getting my hopes up because at 4am she is bound to feel like crap).

Hope the weather ends up OK for everyone who does go.

Might cya there (fingers crossed)
