Kurnell - Sunday 15 Sept
I'll be taking jnrs Bro and Taku to Kurnell tomorrow, starting from the cafe with everyone else at 6:30 – we'll probably catch a tow with the 28s or middies, and peel off after the Capt. Cook bridge. Anyone who wants to join in is welcome, just seek me out at the cafe, or post a note here. Pace will...

The viiiiva heart rate monitor — which is an ANT+ to/from Bluetooth BLE bridge — meaning you can mix and use different sensors together.
The Schmidt SONdelux dynamo hub to go with The Plug.

Thanks Stuart - glorious weather, good day out. Hope Michael makes a speedy recovery. A few pictures for entertainment, before Philip uploads better ones...

Lizanne — eerily silent — heading north to the SHB ramp in the Friday night darkness, with a large bag and determined look on her face. I was heading south, and yelled "lizaaaaaaaa...nnn...eeeee..." as I went.

At the risk of being habitual – I'm up for RNP this Sunday, usual time — but with an Otford option if any takers (no pie shop stop or accompanying banana smoothie; coffee break in Helensburgh if needed). Anyone else?

WTB: 54cm road frame
I'm looking for a road frame for my rapidly growing son, Taku, with a 54cm (virtual) top-tube. Given his history of dropping bikes, it should be something durable, not too pricey, and race-worthy (yes, I know, I know). I'll be building it with modern components... Tying to get it all together before...

Re: Sunday ride to the Otford pie shop
All those PRs in RNP mean you really enjoyed it, Noel... it's a great loop. Artillery Hill, The Wall, and the more rainforest-y parts of the national park really make the ride, methinks. I'm looking forward to doing it again... soon.

Re: Prescription cycling sunglasses recommendations?
Obi Wan has some advice.
Although, I've also heard the Rudy Rydon recommendation. I think Simon B (if he is even on the forum) fashions those. I'm sure he wouldn't mind showing them off – I'll check if he's riding Sunday?

I agree, it was a great day; fantastic efforts by all racers, with great support from parents and siblings! The canteen was propped up by Taku — I think he ate his body-weight in sausages. And thanks for the marquee Colin, sheer luxury.
