Last big dirtworks training
Wisemans Ferry - by the East ferry crossing (turn right bottom of the hill). There is a good parking area by the kiosk here.
Last big training ride before the dirtworks.
Simple plan: Ride up Devines Hill, then continue on GNR for 35ks then back same way but down Shepherds Gully and back on road. This should be about 80ks of excitment.
Note, this is training - No stops unless neccessary (mechanical and eating) and good pace which means around 18 - 20km/h on the flat sections and full blast on the down sections. Hence, a good training ride for anyone who aims at finishing dirtworks in 6hrs or less. I set the group limit to 4 as larger groups tends to be slow.
The weather forecast looks iffy. If it is really raining I wont be there - if it is showers I'll most probably do it. I'll SMS in the morning.
I hope to be accompanied by a few 'roids' 
Cheers,
Staffan

Got up at 5am and it was black, cold, rainy and 35kts of wind. Not a good day for a ride - lets SMS the others it is cancelled.
Had a PM from eyeball that read "Radar images shows a few light showers on the coast, we should be OK."
Ok - lets do it.
Rain all the way to wisemans then it stopped and we had a fantastic 80.02km ride at good pace. Only one light shower during the ride then a good soaking shower during the last two ks on the road.
John was sick so it was just the two of us.
Thanks Andrew for joining!
Cheers,
