Meet at shoppingtown corner 7:20am Sunday 18.07.04

Allowing 30min from my place to Old Warrandyte/Donkeycaster and giving
you guys 20min to go from the start point to Old Wazza Rd. I need to get
myself out the door at.. 7.10am Sunday.. gawd.. here we go again 🙂

Is it going to be the same loop? The more times we do this one, the more
chance I have of learning it, which means the more chance I have of making
it home alive should I get dropped/lost/attacked/puncture/bonk/etc.

fine with me. promise to get the Banyule bit right this time tho 😄 😄 😄
Any suggestions/variations shall be put to the committee (ie those who know WhereTF-you-are-talking-about! and can be arsed doing it!!) and 'moved' forward.

"At the end of the day, we just wanted to get out on the paddock and give it a redhot go. We knew that if we backed each other and stuck to our structures that we could come away with the 4 points and... football would be the winner on the day"

I got my 39T fitted today, not that it seemed that much different on the
way home (although that could be because of the 6km uphill run to the
LBS to pick it up). And budgetary approval has just been provided for
bike shoes and pedals (woohoo!) so look out on Sunday. If I leave 30
mins before you guys it should be at least 4km before you catch me,
actually my aim will be to get to Warrandyte before you.

Look out..

If I'm drinking in moderation on Saturday night I might have
to put the pace on early 🙂

was was having a few drinks with eadie last night and today i feel suprisingly energetic!, i think this week will be very interesting,

tip. practice slowing and getting out of the things.

and you aint a 'real' cyclist until you have slowed at the lights and fallen over in full view of half a dozen people, either :-)))

Can you guys remember what time we made it to the end? I might be
volunteering at the Yarra Valley Tour on Sunday as well as Sat and need to
know if I can still make the ride and get home in time to help at the race...
