I'd be up for something in the morning but I broke the cable to my front derailleur
Anybody happen to have a spare Campagnolo 10 spd power-shift cable? I have two on the way but they won't get here in time.

Ok. Plan: Meet @ 6.30 - Marrickville Rd Cafe and ride out to Waterfall. RNP will be an option depending on who is keen on a bit more exercise. Pace will be relaxed and will ride to maintain the bunch (so far 2 people).
I'll be watching the BOM as I will bail if wet (new virgin frame).

Thanks Stuart.
I'm in. Not sure I'm fast cruisers pace but maybe you guys can do RNP then try and catch me on the way home!

James has kindly given me a front derailleur cable so I'll be repairing my bike either tonight or tomorrow!
So I'm in assuming it's not raining when I wake up... Are we planning on stopping at the cafe when we get back?

I'm out, partly due to the fact it looks like it's going to piss down all day, but mainly on medical advise. And as Rhys says, watch out for the Aus day bogan patrols.

Maaaaaate, you'll be right if you ride in thongs, stubbies and a blue wife beater. Added protection would come in the form of an Aussie flag as a cape.......And as Rhys says, watch out for the Aus day bogan patrols.
Additional points for an "Aussie Pride" decal on the downtube and a "We Grew, You Flew" sticker on the seat stays
I just found out. There's no Lamb in Lammingtons!
Perhaps decide whether or not to take the Australian flag after reading this story ...

Narrow minded yobs who think along those lines will pick on any minority/weaker group in order to boost their own poor self esteem.
If it is not 'ethnics', blacks, GLBT or women, these yobs will gladly go after alternatives such as cyclists.
As an person of 'ethnic' persuasion, the 2 times of the year I try not to put myself in a vulnerable or exposed situation are on Australia Day and Anzac Day.

I fixed my bike but I don't think I'm going to make it tomorrow, went pretty hard on the trainer tonight, don't think I'll be up early enough tomorrow and I'm almost certain it's going to be raining
If you do go and it isn't raining feel free to make me feel bad about it

I'm thinking about this. Will see how the weather develops.
Cyclists have been making the trip to Waterfall for over 120 years, DHBC for probably a century. Pathetic that flag-waving idiots think they have some kind of mortgage on Australia Day.

I woke up at 8am and the weather actually looks ok now, glad to see it didn't happen anyway or I'd have been really kicking myself
