Details:

I have to be an optimistic bugger , or perhaps i should just face facts , i have no friends here .... but thats ok , i can ride into the sunset at Sparrow hill to my hearts content building a platform on my way to glory at the Scott 24 in October in our very competitive team El Rancho Relaxo . My plan tonight is to ride for about two hours here and get a feed ( red rooster , why change) and scoot off to Stromlo for a standard Green Loop flyer ( working on a sub 40 min night lap ) and then try to beat it for another one ... Any takers ??

Very important note !!!

It can get bloody cold at night here so bring plenty of warm gear ( as i am writing this the App temp is 1.4 deg), oh yeah and fully charged lights too

See you there

Bikeboy Short on conversation but a good workout anyway After consulting the riders who turned up ... um me ... it was decided unanimously that a move to Stromlo was in order ( spooky forest alone syndrome at Sparrow ) . After Saturdays OTB fest , ok i went over only once , a cruisey twilight lap was...

the rate you are posting these hopeful rides that Morgan insists on not attending (even though he lives down there,) I am thinking, I need to see some of my advertisers in Canberra eventually, so you may have company one day...

Bad news:

I've got a new job starting in 2 weeks so no more weekday rides.

I'll have to get up at 7am instead of 10 from a fortnight.

My Zinn frame needs to go back to the US and my hardtail is in storage for another 3 months so I'll be off the bike for the rest of winter (NB in Canberra this is considered good news.)

Good news:

I've now got a job so I can pay for any repairs the Zinn needs outside of warranty.

I'm now only going to be able to ride at night during the week so I will be joining Bikeboy on future rides in spring.

Only another 27 years until I can retire.

When you get organised , throw your name on one of my rides and , since you are now a local we can explore some of the out of the way trails there at Stromlo
