North Rd / Nepean Hwy ride

errr, I think the bullhorns, Syntace bars, bar end shifters, profile aero
bottle and twin behind the seat bottle holders may have given you away. If
that didn't do it the Accenture "man bra" top, wetsuit, and getting out of
your shoes everytime you stopped definitely did :-)

Just to clarify, this is not the brumbies ride, they leave the brumbies
in Sandringham at 6 I think as well. Hard is v. hard, average for the
40k's is ~ 40k also called the hr of power for tue/thur. Wednesday you
will also find some of this speed, 'supposed' to be an easy ride with
rolling tempo on the way back (although you can sit further back and
miss out on the turns if you need). Will find that at times this is
nearly as hard as a tue/thur.

I thought this was mainly a Caulfied/Carnegie ride. The roads are
pretty flat so if you sit at the back it should be pretty cruisy even
on the 'hard' days(somehow I always ended up doing turns at the
front). They don't like triathletes (or didn't used to) so I just kept
my mouth shut and didn't tell them.

Eh? Nah, I went incognito on a bike with road drops, Ergo shifters,
cages on the seat & down tubes, dressed in full Euro team issue
clothing. They never caught on.

Regarding "How hard is hard?", the other factor which wasn't mentioned
is that they take off hard from the lights, which makes life up the back
even harder by the time the shock wave effect gets to you.

This might be something you should incorporate into your training so
that you're ready for it once you hit the hard days.
