Details:

This will be the last week for training as I intend on resting the week leading up to the DW race. Repeat of last week Duck, Waratah, Elvina then Centre. Last week it started at 6:45pm but hoping to kick this off earlier. If it doesn't suit I am happy to bump it back to 6:45pm. I wouldn't mind pushing to do this in 2 hours if possible which we came close last week but had a mechanical.

So same ride as last Tuesday, Brian?

Brian's picture

Yes it is. The most important thing with this ride is to get home in time for Sopranos Eye-wink

BT's picture

I think I missed it by about 15 minutes the other night.

Might have to put in some more effort (from somewhere!) up the Elvina climb! Smiling

Brian's picture

Same for me. 15 minutes earlier start and 15 minutes quicker up Elvina we should have it covered Smiling

of the large owls/bats whatever they are that seem to be protective of a nest/chicks near Waratah/Salvation.

I have done a night ride on Wednesday and last ight down there and there were 2 or 3 or these flying beast chasing and swooping me for the 1st km of Waratah and also on the road all the way down to Salvation!!

a little creepy to have these creatures of the night hunt you down and a bit dangerous too.

Brian's picture

I saw them on Tuesday night and they seemed very active Smiling

BT's picture

I saw heaps of them also but I think they left us alone because there were six of us. A lot of wallabies too.

Brian's picture

Sorry guys, I have come down sick and need to rest.

Brian's picture

Definitely out for this one. Been off sick the last 2 days and the doctor told me to rest up for the next week or so. I would normally rest in the last week but looks like for this one it will be 2 weeks rest. Could be interesting come May 2 Puzzled

BT's picture

Sorry to hear Brian. Hope it's not too bad!

How did you end up going last night?

BT's picture

I was a bit late so we didn't end up leaving until about 6:45. We rode at a decent pace with a few rests although we didn't go all the way down Elvina to sea level. I just went down to the concrete and turned around.

No mechanicals either which was good. Finished in just over 2 hrs and got home in time for Sopranos. Smiling
