  1. What better way to practise *our* religion than by going back to basics and riding with one gear, be it fixed or free.

    Cut & Paste from past FR's
    The Route:
    home.iprimus.com.aufr map 1.pdf

    Start:
    07:30 at the cafe on the corner of Gordon St & Glenhuntly Rds (where
    glenhuntley crosses the railway line).

    Stats:
    Distance 35.5k for the loop described.
    Ascent 145m nothing too stressful.
    GI from 65 to 75, was the range last time.

    All just suggestions, with room to move if anyone else has some ideas🙂

    I might actually have my fixie up and running by then... however, religion prevents me on Good Friday...

    Dedicated person that I am, I will happily borrow anyone's fixie, as
    long as it is the right size (~50cm), and excercise it's right to be
    ridden on this very important religious and/or spiritial ride.

    Well that describes my fixie. The gearing's only about 65" but you can spin,
    right? Contact me off list and we can talk about how you pick it up. You'll
    need your own pedals as mine are MTB spds.

  7. Now that I've seen the post, I am a maybe.....

    Depends on logistics!!

    Ditto. I have been eagerly watching the forecast, as my SS "does not do
    wet roads".
    It's never been christened so to speak. Don't want to spoil the nice
    white paint and clean tyres. :-)

    It could become a fixie. Needs a clean too.

    Sod it. I'll make an effort to join my first FR, Good Friday or not. It is quite addictive - I went for a fixie ride this morning out to Airport West, along Western Ring path to Brimbank Park and then down the Maribyrnong River path home. Nice and peaceful along the river there, plus, I had a laugh at the motorists on the Tulla Fwy, bumper to bumper at about 8am (ha ha).

    Ritch

    PS. Can anyone suggest any double sided SPD pedals with flats (so I have the option of steet shoes)?

  15. Whether Forecast is now
    "late change with rain" sounds promising

    Dutchy. I'm guessing you will be riding to Balwyn after the ride. I''ll
    be riding in same direction to Heathmont, do you have a suggested
    route. I was thinking Orrong Rd, High St ----Blackburn Rd, Canterbury
    Rd.

    Cheers

    Darling, don't forget it's a *special* type of SS.

    An Anointed GOAT SS.

    Now where was I, aha yes, back on topic:

    Madonna del Ghisallo

    Holy days: November 2nd and December 24.

    Would it be blasphemous to add August 8th as well?

    besides the only BR i have flatted on was the only time i brought a pump, so it stays at home and i depend "on the karndness of strayngerss" 😄
