LOL, I'll fix that
What time do we go thru Engadine on the way out?

That's a challenge if ever I heard one Christian. As a C25 ride captain and back in the bunch this week, I reckon we can beat you fasties (or A group or whatever), unless there are flats, mechanicals or other events beyond our control.I'm most probably in. I wonder if we can beat the C25s back?
That's a tall ask. That's starting some 40mins after the usual start time for RNP.
Given the distances of 95km (RNP) and 80km (regular Waterfall), and respective average speeds of 30km/h and 25km/h, it'll take the Fasties 3.17hr and C25 3.2hr to complete the ride. A difference of 2.4mins. With the C25 leaving some 20mins earlier, the Fasties better not take a break at 7-11. And whether the Fasties can do 30km/h average for the RNP loop is another question.

ive average 32 km/h + on my own for a RNP ride. So with a bunch it will be no problem at all.
That's just over 14mins difference b/n the 2 bunches with a 20mins head start by C25. It'll be a close one and one that comes down to mechanicals and rest times on Sunday!ive average 32 km/h + on my own for a RNP ride. So with a bunch it will be no problem at all.

I've felt like crap today, so if I'm not there, then ride out without me. I'll give it a 50/50 at this stage

Tempted, I need Grafton K's. Suppose it depends on how I survive Saturday 1 hour spin class immediately followed by the Ominum
Yeah same. But me riding a mountain bike depends on Christian riding a mountain bike so it's all in his hands.I'm keen, unless I decide to ride the mountain bike.
Oh and I am only keen for this if you will wait for me on the hills... In return I will make you all look super glamorous just by riding in the bunch.

OK I'm in. If I don't arrive at MM at 6.00 I'll chase. Assume the route is Audley in, Stanwell tops out
