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.

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!

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

Yeah same. But me riding a mountain bike depends on Christian riding a mountain bike so it's all in his hands.

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.

Depending on how I'm feeling I might go longer so might not be with you the whole ride. I might go to Bundeena, not sure. I want to get at least 100kms in this weekend.

630 certainly sounds a more civilised time. :D
And the ride as stands will easily crack 100 - To ride in at Audley, out at Waterfall is about 95k's so to push on to Stanwell Tops will be another 10-20k's on top...

coming out at the stanwel tops high bit, with out going down the hill takes out a massive hill though, depending on what you want it might be better to do the hill (for me personally it may be better not to :D)

Oh yeah for some reason I had it in my head that we were coming out at Waterfall. I might die riding with you guys, maybe I should leave earlier and get a head start :?

God forbid.

It doesn't matter, I'm getting used to riding by myself on sundays. I invent a new way of getting dropped every week.

Definitely an excellent ride, serving well to confirm your fixie century should really hurt...
