I was sorry I couldn't make last weeks social..... Can't wait to try night riding.
I've ridden Cascades, the dam, bantry bay etc for about 4 years, but never ventured to Terry Hills. Are there any surprises apart from the mobbers?
Look forward to meeting everyone,
Nick
Hi Nick
with that pedigree you won't have any issues at all with Terrey Hills at night. The track is mainly undulating graded firetrail, not to steep, with a couple of rocky bits and singletrack woven in to make it interesting
Good for night rides - not too many surprises. Good location with a start/finish at Terrey Hills tavern. Last week we had more than 16 riders, including some newbies. As long as you have decent lights you'll have a ball!
See you on Tuesday eve!
Rgds, Hans
==========================
Happiness is a warm shock.
Thanks for the heads up on Terry Hills Hans. I was thinking about making my own Leds, which is what brought me to Nobmob.com... a link to Rob's article on his Cree's.
Reading all the reviews I was swayed to purchase a set of Ay-Ups, so I had better enjoy night riding or I'll be crucified by the other'arf!
Not sure how good my pedigree is, I really like going down Cascades/Heath Track..! Not so keen on uphill....):#
Nick.
Hey!
-----------------------------------------------------------
would love to come this Tue. Any suggestions where to get a decent light quickly?
Thanks .... Tony .
had some i used for years - they went on the handlebars... I don't know if i am riding or else i would offer you to bring some (if i could find them!!!) - I won't know until tomorrow...supposed to go to a meeting....
Hey..or rather Hay! No chance I am bike riding – one of my friends is on the eventing team and showjumping is tuesday night – at the moment our team is coming second to Germany!
I am so proud of him – and you know, he was a local boy – Duffy’s Forest!
... Germany!!!!!
seeya.... at the Pub @ 19-15...
Bernd
i want to concentrate and, if he does well, no doubt i will cry!
If he places (on the podium), we can say that we've ridden in the shite of Olympic medal winner?
Silver lining and all...
Junkie, podium is correct, 2nd that is...
Germany will take that one!!
Bernd
and then as I recall, Germany made a giant mistake in the showjumping and were stripped of their gold... hmmmmm
...? Germany makes mistakes?
Bernd
she doubled over on the showjumping - you aren't allowed to cross over your path - they took the gold away - you have to feel so sorry for her hey
however! now it's just GO SHANE!!!!
...Hans and the other 11 or so!!
That Bier ist just the best after a ride,
"social" ride..... Christine where are u?
Still watching Germany win the Gold?
We need you out there, "social" does not meen anything anymore!!!
Gr8t Ride boys, Thanks
Bernd
.... Germany!?!!?!
Silver for Shane is very, very cool!
Bernd
Thanks to all for coming to another fun mid-winter night ride...including the "night virgins" and the team from Belrose cycles ...(our pit crew...?)
Pace was quick (almost unsocial
)...you could tell that people are getting in great shape for the upcoming races!
No crashes to report...just a lightning fast dash to the lookout (brrr at 6 degrees + windchill) ...and back to the pub for the customary post-ride drinks...
See you on the trails!
Rgds Hans
P.S. SCUMMER ALERT: there was a ghost appearance by the dashing GAZZA decked out in lycra on the road bike on Booralie road...
GAZZA was to quick for us to get a picture but he had a close resemblance to these studs:
==========================
Happiness is a warm (FREEZING) shock.
just like to say thanks for the great ride ,lots of fun ,ill be back(once i get me some ayups)thanks for the loan hans.any other nocturnal riders out there want to buy bulk ayups ,they are willing to give 5% disc for 3 or more and 7% for 10+ not huge discounts but better than none.
yeah boys always there to help as the "pit crew" just need someone to break something first!
Adrian - it gives us peace of mind having you guys there - and maybe act as a good omen...
In rgds to "breaking something first"...maybe we should swap things around and
a) go the pub first and
b) then go for the ride...

Thanks to all for making it a great experience last night. I think I might be hooked on night riding.
Must say, if that was a social pace, I'm nowhere near ready to try racing.
Nick
