  1. So that's Sunday next weekend (not 'this weekend' coming).

    Basically a charity ride around Lake Macquarie (NSW)
    organised by the rotary club.

    The whole loop is 85km, starting at Spears Point Park
    (very north point of the lake). I don't remember the
    exact costs, and don't have a sheet in front of me.
    From memory it was about $25 previously.

    Last year there was 1900 riders, Larissa & I rode it on
    the tandem. It's a fairly hilly ride - well no huge
    grinders, but very little flat.

    You can also start from 1/2way at Morisset for a 50km trip.

    The best bit is stopping at traffic lights: I love the
    sound of hundreds of pairs of clipless pedals 🙂
    It spreads out a bit after the first few hills.

    Speaking of hills, the hill down into Swansea is fantastic -
    high & long and a perfect hotmix surface. We ran out of
    gears going down on the tandem, not sure how fast that
    was, I managed to put the front wheel on backwards, so the
    magnet was on the wrong side 🙁

    Anyway, I'll be there, I'll wear my (blue) Eurobike jersey,
    and shabby helmet. Say 'ello if you see me.

  2. Yep Ill be there as well.

    Last year was pretty hot,I think the route has changed though.

    Stop at the pub in Swansea for a coldie or 6 pack at the finish.

    Then collapse into a deep dreamfilled sleep....

    ah bliss...
