P.S. You can have either of mine for $0

Re: Sun Club Ride: Royal National Park (RNP) 6:00am
I'm up for an RNP ride this Sunday but what time do we usually get back to the cafe? I have to be back by 10am.
Is going in at Audley quicker than going in at Waterfall or vice versa?

Heading back north, Adam? Yup, that would likely have been me. On my way to pick up Robert in Austinmeer.
Great morning/day out. Thanks to James, Phillip, Paul et. al. for the tow to Loftus and to Robert for the other 100km's we rode together.

Re: The dark secrets of the Charlie Walsh era
Quite an amazing story: "Most of you won’t know this but Robbie McEwen had a stint in the AIS Track Program. And remember that Robbie was a late starter to cycling after coming across from BMX. With that in mind, he went to the annual altitude road camp in Mexico in January 1992. He had a knee ...

Hi Robert,
I am also not a strong hill climber so it might well be that you are waiting for me!
Adam, would be great to have you along. When we did the Gong ride a few years ago (in at Waterfall) it took 3 hours 15 mins.

Wollongong Return Sunday 9th March
So.......... Thinking of riding return to Wollongong on Sunday morning. Leaving the cafe at 6 (possibly with the RNP group), hoping to get to Wollongong by 930 or so to see the end of a triathlon. Our very own Ben Thomson is competing as well as some of my other squad members. And then riding home! ...

Does anyone regularly commute with a laptop? If so, how do you carry it?
1. Backpack
2. Panniers
3. One shoulder thingy
Are there any recommendations for a backpack specifically (I can't/don't want to put panniers on my roadie)?

Assuming you mean 52cm and not 52 inches and assuming we are talking the top tube length, you could reasonably assume I could ride it (as that is my Avanti's size) and I am 166cm.

Re: What causes so many punctures in the rain?
My theory was always that water sticks together, and therefore the water, coupled with the little sharp objects one finds on the road, all stick together, stick on your tyre and work their way in.

I think it is a 52. I am 166cm tall.
