Alpine classic - who's in?
MikeyOz Wrote: I think you will find you will be ok, I had never done an audax ride until this one last year, the organization is fantastic and the food stops! amazzzzing, it is a great day/event. The Mt Nebo climb would be good practice, especially for Mt Buffalo, Cootha is good enough for the other climbs, by getting the 6.20 I think just means you booked early enough, I left it too late again, it fills up so quick! But at least I got accomodation in Porepunkah this time instead of Myrtleford. Yeah we've been doing Nebo frequently. Mt Gravatt is close to where I live so its convenient for a bunch of repeats before work. We rode to the gold coast last weekend and did the Springbrook climb which is only 8km at 6%. Still have _some__climbing legs left from france, though not much!. Geez it leaves you quickly. -- monsterman |

Donga Wrote: Hey MM, Hughie and I are talking about coming down from Brissie. We will probably drive. I bought a CT crankset the other day. I challenge you for the Lantern Rouge! Donga Have you guys registered for the event. My mate (big Pete) is hyper-organised and got is pre-registration codes etc and got us booked in quite early. I will be swapping the compact cranks back on in the new year for that extra bit of insurance. I understand the climbs aren't that steep - they're just long. We'll be right. ticker will get you through!! Just make sure you get to the food stops before pete and I, because a couple of ravenous 90kg units can make quite a dent in a buffet -- monsterman |

I'm coming down from Brisbane for it, and it would be great to put some usernames to faces I'm starting to slightly sh t myself about the general lack of training going on in my life, but there still some time and fear is a great motivator! I'll be there for the 140km ride with the new bike. We'll probably finish at the same time:-) lets hope that it's not 43 degrees again! -- ProfTournesol |

Think Bikesoiler is doing the 140km, I'll give him a nudge to get going. The 6.20am is all booked out (or close to). Anyway, the important stuff: our accom. has a pool and 1 minute walking distance to the Bright CBD. If anyone else is minding the towels, contact moi & we'll go do the hard yards at the Bright Brewery or Boyntons. -- cfsmtb |
