could be a possibility, I am pnly new tho and a lap takes approx 40 - 45 mins if thats ok?

40-45 is fine. I think we are normally around the 50 minute mark.

I'll be a bit later though so don't wait - I may see you out there.

It's been drizzling a bit here today so hopefully it clears up.

Brian's picture

I see the forecast is for showers. I will be there regardless and will make a decision whether to ride or not. Assuming its not washed out, how much later are you planning on being there?

dangersean's picture

to be concerned about, the forecast is for approx. 1mm of drizzle for the afternoon with low clouds and no rain overnight.

MTB'ers would drip more than that in sweat around the dam every day - yuck! Eye-wink

I may see you on the track, starting from my house (entering from Allambie Rd) no earlier than 7pm for 2 laps so we might cross paths.

BT's picture

I'll get there about 6:30pm

Frags's picture

il b there and ready to go at 6 if anyone else will be there and ready then.

Brian's picture

@ Frags, I will be there ready to ride for 6pm as that is what time the ride is posted for. See you soon.

Good to meet Mat and Luke last night. Brian, hope your not too sore today? We were all very tentative on the second lap around any boardwalk, atleast I was! We got about 1/2 way around when the heaven's opened and it starting raining quite heavy. Luke, I'll have to follow you closer next time to learn the technique for that far left hand line at 19th hole!! Only just mastered the C line (although those that see me do it would question the term "mastered") so am probably dreaming....but that's why we ride!!

Frags's picture

Thanks for the ride guys and nice to meet you all, hope the wounds heal soon brian so you can get back on the bike.

Brian's picture

I seem to be getting sorer each day. My lower rib area on the side I fell is a bit tender when I sneeze and my grazes are quite sensitive. I will see how I go for this Thursday but the weather doesn't look good all week Sad
