This will be a SOCIAL ride which means if you want to ride at 20ks and hour don't think I will be!! hee hee

Paul's picture

Terrey Hills twice in a week - someone bought the jumbo size disinfectant?

on a "social paced" ride.

Unfortunately I can't get to the normally usual regular Tuesday ride so will be forced to join this as long as its not raining.

christine's picture

your fault - you hooned off and I felt pressure to try and keep up...!!
This ride is a social one - and i am thinking, now that i see Bernd is coming along, that if it's nice weather and not too cold we may have our beer stop on ride again... hmmm Smiling

pikey's picture

....my bike is all shiny and lubed ready for the Fling Smiling

I might take the Kona out instead.

See ya's Wed

nate's picture

if it's fine, I'm comming.

...just how slow will we be riding?

christine's picture

if you come i will probably fall off my bike in shock so that will make it slow to start with...
We won't be doing 24km p/h but it won't be soooper slow - i just said that so it stays social Smiling

nate's picture

I'll see you there Smiling

Paul's picture

These days for "roid girl" Christine one of her social rides is where I can just barely manage a two word sentence between laboured breaths, while she pedals along looking like she wouldn't blow out a candle.

P.S. After last weeks ride she was upset that she only managed to hit 48 kph and that was at the very end of the 22k ride.

Caro's picture

After learning how much fun it is to ride at night at the Mont I think I can't resist.
But only if it is not raining raining. Don't want to end up going to the FLing without any breaks left Smiling. Even though.... that might help with the time.... we will see Eye-wink

So which one of you is to be called "Roid Girl" then? It looks like there is a bit of competition now. Laughing out loud Are you going to battle it out?

Stuart M's picture

I'd pay to see that Ditty ;-0

I just happened to be passing the Oxford tavern around 2.30 today, so I dropped in to watch the Cup but found more entertainment on stage than on the screen, it also happened to be topless Tuesday and one poor girl was obviously feeling the cold (some days are better than others)
anyhow Stuart or Liam if you can tee up some sort of title fight for the name Roid Girl, I'll try and get them a gig at the Oxford.
Can't tell you my real name.

Believe it or not, non-cyclists sometimes think they have something interesting to say!

Bernd's picture

I'm the same as Pikey my bike is all done up for the Fling,
so I will only be there if it is not to wet!
The bike shop, http://www.cyclesport.com.au/ did a super job on my bike, thanks Bruce for the tip!
Bernd

Bruce's picture

Glad they did a good job Bernd.
No night ride for me either too wet & too close to the fling to risk damaging the bike.
Next tuesday night would be good though to resume the normal regular ride at the dam.

Stuart M's picture

I am pulling the pin. Been far too wet for too long for me to give this one serious consideration. Bruce, I'm out next week but post and they will come, assuming the dam will still be open after a week and a half of rain

christine's picture

just too vivid an imagination from you lot!
And you are all so surprised more girls don't come riding.. hmmmm wonder why?!!!
Wuss Stuart!!!
That track drains really well...we haven't had THAT much rain up there...anyway, the Tavern is lovely and warm... Smiling
Manly Dam next week for sure cupcake!

Stuart M's picture

I've just spent the morning waiting for a certain Brookvale car yard to complete warranty work on my car, again, and it has pissed down most of the morning.

christine's picture

Terrey Hlls isn't Brookvale now is it? Sunday it was raining in Manly and Brookvale and sunny as on our ride...
YOu stay at home with a nice cup of hot chocolate my dear, as long as its not pouring and I have someone else to ride with I am still going...
Didn't figure you as such a 'fair weather rider'!!! Wanna ride on the weekend?

MEEE Smiling

Stuart M's picture

Not if it doesn't stop raining

Paul's picture

Stuart = wuss. Check the weather map hardly a spit at Terrey Hills since Saturday.

Stuart M's picture

Besides me and wet T shirt contests don't go, I'm tired of winning them

Bernd's picture

It has not "pissed down" in Rockdale!!
TH dry?? maybe.
So I should be there, Christine!
Bernd

Volker's picture

Have fun, hope you can sort out the weather wars.

steveb's picture

I hate to keep the weather argument going but i live at Terrey Hills and it is the wettest place on earth. But I'll still be riding anyway. cheers.

christine's picture

i just got Stuart to almost agree to stop being such a supreme girl (almost a nobette really!) and you say that!!!
i have decided that it is not going to rain for our ride and we will all have a lovely social time!
see you at the tavern!

MEEE Smiling

evan's picture

I like the idea of the tavern.

Noel's picture

but not yet.

Stuart M's picture

Can we get pizza delivered to the beer garden while the others are all out riding?

evan's picture

Now that's tempting..

Caro's picture

This will be my first official TH night ride!! I heard so much about you making it so much more fun and everybody says how much of a gentleman you always are, you just have to come! Smiling

pikey's picture

.... they make pizzas at The Tavern but you would have to have your order to them before 8:15 as they close at 9

Did the Long Track plus extensions early this afternoon - a few puddles, but not too wet at all. Track is actually quite hard and fast at the mo - the 2.1 WTB Weirwolf worked really well too.

Love to come, but I may be out of domestic credits Sad

Cheers
Nic
