Australia Day weekend ride

By Caro - Posted on 19 January 2008

Hello hello!

I was just wondering if anybody would be interested in longer ride/ day trip on Australia Day weekend? Would love to do a long ride either somewhere we haven't been or somewhere fabulous we don't go often enough! (Maybe with some technical bits) Smiling

Would the ride you suggested in Belangelo qualify for that, Liam? And does anybody know the area around there (apart from picking up backpackers Eye-wink )? Or we could spend some more time at Menai, really loved it down there! Any other suggestions?

Either Saturday or Sunday would be my days of choice.

Happy rainy day!

a Sunday ride at Menai is the event of choice!
Very nice Smiling
Good thing is, last time we went it was after a rainy period too and it drained really well, so should be fine. While you are working on your brownie points at home I'll see if I can have a word with the weather gods Eye-wink

Does anyone that is coming have a GPS??

I'd be keen for this one too, I might bring a hammer to fix up some of that 'shore before giving it a go! Would be good if we could make it early.

PS - Sorry I didn't stop to say hello in town Liam, I had a badly fixed puncture (old repair kit and not so sticky patches...) and it was touch and go getting home without having to pump up again! See you Sunday hopefully.

It's okay, I understand. It's hard to stop and chat in the middle of traffic!! Smiling
