    Only A5h and I - the second time in a week there were only 2 BR'ers! 🙁

    Given there was only two of us, we headed towards the Bike Life route hoping to suck some wheel of another bunch 😉.. No sign of them, so we took off alone. Missing the turn, we end up doing the tourist route up to Skyline, then down the 1/20. A5h pointed out where his bike upgrade came from, how a driver can miss a cyclist there I'll have no idea. A5h had to get home so took off down Mtn Hwy, I headed towards Doncaster. We'd covered more kms than I expected, so a few sprint sets to get green lights on the way home and I was spent.

    92kms and around 1300m of climbing - almost identical to a normal BR!

    So... BR turns 2 next weekend... no excuses.. Winter solstice falls on the 21st of this month, so in theory it won't get any darker or colder! 🙂

    Side note: Well done to those BR/A.b'ers on their winnings (CG, KOM, KOM) this long weekend.

    cheers,
    GPL

    I can only hope you had the obilgatory coffee at Ripe, otherwise it's just not a ride in the nongs.

    BTW, Forget the BR next weekend and give me a lift down to Phillip Island for the southern combine race!!! (Go on!)

    Forget the southern combine race, and make your debut BR ride the
    anniversary ride!!! (Go on!)

    You could race too timmo! The Phillip Island corners are wide, with no centre-line and they're cantered, so there's no chance of crashing whereas I hear those BR's are pretty dangerous... (Today Tonight story pending...)

    Oh [censored], I can't be there! FD better be to ensure at least one founder
    is there to celebrate.
