West Head for Blondie


Rob's picture

By Rob - Posted on 12 January 2009

Riding up Heath yesterday, Blondie was telling me how much she loves those hills.

I was saying how the only real hill in these parts is the climb up Elvina so what's say we do a Duck Hole/Centre loop on Saturday morning but go up the road to Elvina on the way? We could even throw in Waratah if Blondie is feeling good.

I don't want to go too early or make too large an epic out of this as I have to go to a wedding later that day.

Anyone keen (aside from the obvious?) Eye-wink

this morning i was plannning a similar ride (in my head) but i have to be at a breakfast on Saturday morning at 9am...dont' supposed you would make it Sunday? Even if it's an afternoon ride...?
Bloody hell, that made me sound keen and if you say no and stick to your Saturday time I will secretly be SO pleased!!!

You should just do Morgan's Wisemans Ferry ride on Saturday morning then Rob.

I have been keen to meet up for a ride with the mob for a while. I am also working on making hills my friend.
Can do a Sunday morning, but am literally circumnavigating Sydney visiting various people Saturday so can't make it then....

Long story short - I'm in for Sunday if it's on.

Who has breakie at 9am Blondie?! Shouldn't it be 6:30 or 11? Move them back a bit and let's go early then - your friends will thank you for the lie in Smiling

I can't go to GNR as might not get home in time. Sad

I can't plan on doing Sunday due to Saturday's festivities. Smiling

if the wedding is Saturday night then of course you can ride Sunday - we all manage to back up and YOU can't even drink as much as us anymore...and what is wrong with an afternoon ride? It doesn't get dark until 8...
it's a birthday breakfast so I can't really go 'round changing it can I?
either way, I guess i will be up for a horrible hilly Sunday ride - make up your mind Rob as otherwise I will have to post my own ride -hopefully with boys who wear shorts OVER their lycra!! lol

Throw Sandy trail into the mix as well for a bit of hill work...

you have never worn shorts so you can come - it's those boys who USED to wear shorts that don't any more...you know, like those who now choose to wear revealing grey lycra who USED to wear shorts...
as for Sandy that is cruel and for another ride i am planning - quite enjoying planning all these horrible rides really you know.. .
