If it's raining, I won't be there.
Ride Database Entry: 
Cascades
Meeting Point: 

End of Wyatt Ave, Belrose - this is on the East side of Garigal National Park.

-33.724071, 151.210407 (Wyatt Ave, Belrose)
Details:

Ok, i am going to go from Cascades to St Ives Oval to Duck and Centre and back again – anyone fancy doing this with me? I am thinking this will be my last 'long' ride before the Dirtworks - If Paul twist my arm I may consider adding in going down Ryland and around the perimeter as well but not sure about extending it that much..!!!
Roid boys need NOTreply as this will be a Blondie training ride at Blondie speed...I will stop somewhere for a snack too!
i am guessing this ride will end up being about 35ks? or 40? In fact, I have no idea, it will probably feel endless. lol!

Who's in?
Heckler, christine, Buck, dangersean, Debs, Steve C (6 riders)

If I promise to ride at blondie pace can I come along? Remember I will probably be aching from Tien's cascades madness anyway.

Anyway, I'm not clicking the star unless you approve Christine!

you had the football the night before so i doubt very much you can do a Blondie or Lozza and turn up and ride drunk so i am guessing you can come along since you probably won't show... and if you do, you have to wait at the top of all the hills!!

dangersean's picture

i'll wait. But if I rock up drunk you'll be waiting for me anyway.

...to wait for me?

Smiling

christine's picture

it's a blondie traning ride, not a hoon fest like the boys like to do - just a steady pace... Smiling

anke13's picture

I better click the star then Smiling

GeordieAndy's picture

... so will tag along for this. Also happy to extend the ride by 20kms or so as you mention Christine! Smiling

mattanderson's picture

I am just new to Sydney and looking to do some rides with people who know the track so was wondering if you wouldnt mind having a nub tag along.

christine's picture

... it will be about 40ks i think all up and a steady pace.. some hills!
i think that some boys on this site are confused as to their 'roid boy status though ... GREG!!!

Rob how do i make the limit 10 since i have decided that may be better?

davis_jnr's picture

if it opens for 10 people i'll be there

christine's picture

if you aren't there i will be MOST offended - it's open for 10 -Rob seems to think I should know how to change the limit - please! however, i shall try now to do so... Smiling

clearly i am stil blonde! Went into Edit, changed it to 11 and submitted it and look! it still says 8 on my computer!! woo hoo!

the ride limit is now 11!

MEEE Smiling

christine's picture

of course you can come silly! - you can keep Sean company racing up the hills with Pikey!!
i don't really know why i even put a limit now I think about it!

GeordieAndy's picture

Eye-wink

christine's picture

but they are the nice roidies who are capable of doing slower rides so thats ok - anyway, if they really 'bond' they can always ride off ... or do extra laps and hill repeats coming back to the normal riders!!

Buck's picture

Want to do Duck Holes backwards Christine? Eye-wink

christine's picture

anyway you aren't on the list... PLUS that decision would be a democratic one on the day... Smiling

Buck's picture

My name is on now. The infiltration is nearly complete. If we get enough so called 'roid boys we can have a majority and overtake this democracy Laughing out loud

christine's picture

you would have to depart the ride the same time as us and then do your own roidy horrible thing - Anarchy will not be accepted on my slow training ride!!!

Jo's picture

Hey Christine I may join you for part of the ride so those roidies like Buck don't try and take control.

I'm going to pray for fine weather because I don't think I have the experience to match it with you when it gets wet.

A hill twice climbed is never as steep.

The forecast is for a shower or two Saturday and Sunday.

Will this ride still be on if it's raining and if not what are your contingency plans?

Go Big or Go Home

GeordieAndy's picture

the weather Christine!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eye-wink It had to come up!

christine's picture

no emergency plan - unless its raining so much we are going to get washed away down cascades i will still be riding this but Jo is praying for nice weather so I hope that works.. Smiling
Ben - what's going on that someone got on about the weather before you?

Eyeball's picture

Tien,
Weren't you supposed to be on the dirtworks training ride? Is there something I should know? Or are you just being soft. And, yes I am concerned about the distance and pace of the ride.

tienster's picture

as my cold continues.

Hopefully will put in a big effort next weekend weather permitting.

Tien.

GeordieAndy's picture

I'm really sorry but I can't make this ride now. Yesterday I managed to pull a calf muscle on a run and worse still have wrecked my lower back to the point where I could barely walk yesterday. Don't know how, have never had back problems before.
It's better today and I've just had a massage (ooh-er!) but I need to be sensible. I really don't want to miss a weekend of riding at this stage so will have to try and make up for it next weekend. I suppose it's just as well I didn't to it 2 weeks from now....

Bugger Sad

tienster's picture
