Do you have a new frame Noel?

[humanbeing]

I hope it stays cruisey, otherwise I'll croak on Sunday
Have a great ride,
Peter

[Nozzle]

I'm confirmed for tomorrow pending weather (too lazy to swap out race wheels tonight and not ready to be brave with carbon clinchers in wet).

@Andrew - Frame has got the all clear from the Giant rep. Bikes been serviced, had a bath and ready to roll.....

Cruisey is good for me.

Woops. Clearly I don't read the Forum much....I'm scrapping this and we are joining the Adventure Ride!

[Nozzle]

I'm kicking off this thread again for this coming Sunday 4th August. Who's keen to join me for some targeted hills? I'm happy to hold a Middies pace out and every man for themselves on the hills. 6am start @ MRC

This sounds like my kind of ride. I've only ever done waterfall in, Audley out. Would this be the plan again? Happy and open to new challenges though.

Thanks Noel & everyone for a great ride this morning!

Really appreciated the steady pace going out.

Have a good week.

[Anthony K]

Yes, ditto, thanks gents, a really pleasant ride in The Park.

[Andrew_Harvey]

Thanks guys for a great ride and for waiting for me after the hills!
Already looking forward to next time.

[jonboy]

Yeah thanks for the ride to Waterfall guys - couldn't have done it without you.

Sorry that no one came with me to Stanwell Tops. You all missed out on something really special. I've never seen whales and dolphins somersaulting in unison - truly amazing.

Next time, make the effort

[JoTheBuilder]

I also did Stanwell Tops today and can confirm John's sightings...

Well you missed the unicorn whilst you were wasting your time at the tops.....

Who's keen for this ride for Sunday 6th?

[andrewm]

Will there be a unicorn?

I'm keen regardless

I think this coming Sunday it is Audley in.

I intend enter at Audley, go through to Waterfall, turn around and go back through the park again for a bit of extra up.

If anyone would like to join me and is patient enough to wait for my "Moderate Middies" pace i would be more than happy to have your company.

6am at The Marrick as usual. Very slim chance of Unicorns. Very strong chance of Triffids.

[Nozzle]

I'll be riding the R2CC so will miss this one....

[Philip]

I'll be doing the park this Sunday also. My legs are still hurting from the epic, so definitely need some more pain before Fitz. I'll follow you in but I think I'll need to head on to Stanwell Park and then turn around and do the Bald Hill climb. Maybe twice, but then maybe I'm dreaming.

1. Anthony
2. Philip

[humanbeing]

Did someone say bike ride!

I may follow you Philip or just do The Wall.
I also may go RNP Saturday as well.

[Anthony K]

Phillip,
Ballpark, what time do you expect to get hone doing Bald Hill once? twice?

[Philip]

Anthony, this one took me 5.5 hours including a coffee at Stanwell Park
so probably about the same or longer if I do Bald Hill twice.

Philip, for bonus points, please make (my annual Fitz's roommate), Ben, suffer. I would if I was there, so it's the least you could do.

[Anthony K]

Thanks guys for a great trip through the park. And thanks for waiting for me numerous times.

My first time up Bald Hill. Having ridden down a number of times I was a bit scared but it didn't seem that bad. Certainly doesn't compare with The Wall.

Next time I think I need to organise a cooler day. 41 max temp on my Garmin and I felt every bit of it.

[humanbeing]

41 c, I'm pretty glad I took the easy option.
Hope you fellas had lots of water.
Peter

[andrewm]

James should be happy. There was suffering. A rule 9 ride. Always wanted to be a badass period.

[Anthony K]

So while we are quoting rules, I have a solid dose of rule 7 and found myself quoting rule 5 to myself as I tried to hang on the back while Keith and Andrew punched tirelessly into the wind on the way home.

Top day. Everyone safe. Thanks Anthony and all the really friendly group - can't ask for more. You better point me to the rule book as I don't want a spanking.

That wind did have an up-side, making the afternoon unsuitable for pruning trees or cleaning gutters.

This has grown into a fairly popular ride of about 10 plus every week and sometimes pushing 15 plus. THere probably is demand for two groups, C28s and closer to Middies, and hopefully other riders from the C28s can start to join in rather than always doing the Waterfall ride.

Hence the "C28's Version" tagline meaning we don't have to destroy ourselves trying to keep up with middies pace riders on the way to and through the park and to encourage some C28 riders to come along. I'll be doing this every other week (with some variants I'd expect) starting in Feb as training for the Beechworth Gran Fondo

Just wanted to say thanks to Anthony and Ben for hanging back and riding with me. Also thank you to the two gents who rode back to check up on me near the Waterfall exit. It was a great ride but I'm obviously not ready for a 28s pace through RNP. I made it as far as Sans Souci but then my legs, and my resolve, finally gave up and I ended up catching a train home from Rockdale...following which I downed a kebab like there was no tomorrow (Good recovery food!).

Cheers,
Rajiv

[Stuart]

A big turnout saw 20+ starters this morning with only 4 middies. The C28's group was 18 strong and it all came together after artillery hill. A lovely morning out on the bike, I just need to get my powers of observation happening as I was sure I was last rider as I turned for the Waterfall climb but Rajiv & Anthony K were still behind me. Apologies for that. Also, a great slow moving paceline on the return from Waterfall. I'll be doing this again.

[Anthony K]

Thanks Stuart, it was clearly the right suggestion at the right time. A great turnout. I got to the end thinking that 4 hours sleep was definitely a performance killer but my average speed was far better than I expected so clearly the bunch were travelling at a fair clip.
Thanks all for waiting for me to crawl up the hills.
