Cool I should be at the top gate at around about 7.45am give or take 5min either way if your not at the gate I can come and meet you at your place if you like.

I got to the top at 7.50am last week and did it at a medium sort of pace.

You should be ok Stuart I wont be trying to set any records as I will have to save something for the 9.00am ride I have allowed 3hrs and 10min which is plenty of time for this ride without stops.

The only difference between this ride and a normal nobmob ride is there will be no stopping anywhere so just be prepared for that and we will knock it over in a good time.

We will ride the single track on the way up (not the technical bit) which is easy enough and it also makes the ride to the bottom gate seem quicker than it is on the fire road

Bring a light its not absolutely necessary as there is just enough light in the sky at that time of the morning but I will have one light on the bike for the first 30 minutes or so of the ride.

family commitments mean I'm going to have to stay local for this weekend. Given the lack of riding over the last couple of weeks its probably a good thing for you.

No problem Stuart but going on your last efort on the Oaks night up and back I think you would of made it no problem without stops.
