Bunch ride

tonykara said:

my week end ride is Templestowe-Panton Hill-Heidelberg-BoxHill-
Templestowe. my mates are all beach road buffs and wont venture
inland beacause its too hilly.....SOFT......so im looking for riders
keen to join in.

I'm in Bulleen so a Templestowe start/finish sounds good to me, but I'm
pretty slow and would only be able to fit it in occasionally depending
on family commitments (maybe every couple of weeks). But I like the
sound of that. Especially seeing I was considering a ride out to
Whittlesea but your route sounds much better.

I'll be there, I've gotta luv that starting point, I'll be able to leave
home at 7:13am. Meet on that bit of nature reserve on the north-west of
the intersection.

It aint that bad if you avoid Whites Road and go the 'back way'

(go along whatever that main road with bike lane is whilst heading west,
turn left onto RedHill turnoff, White Rd, and take immediate left again
rather than the long hard and dangerous, Wh Rd)

just gotta remember to eat before hand. was 'bonking real bad when i did
it last time about 6 weeks ago!

That sounds like a good ride. How far is it?

I live in Lower Templestowe so that suits me fine.

Unfortunately I'm out of action for the next seeks weeks or so due to a
riding accident so I'll hopefully join you guys for a ride if it becomes
a regular thing.
