Soooo, being an ex-cross-country skiier in Manitoba none of this scares me particularly, but is anybody else game to head over anyway? I don't really know the way.....

Hi Peter,
my day may have been freed up tomorrow, could you remind a non-native victorian where the 'switch bridge' is? And how long a ride out is it roughly?

Cheers, Alec

Hmmm, damn, I was considering trying Hurricane ridge on Canada Day too, didn't register that was Thursday, I may not be able to do the cornering session then...

Alec

Thanks for all the support guys, I had great advice and a lot of luck for my first race! For those not there who might get the impression I instantly acquired the experience of a veteran of the pelaton, here's the race from my perspective: I started off in the neutral lap desperately trying to clip ...

Thanks for the tips this morning Lister, really started to get the feel of it at the end but still need to ingrain the technique/speed for confidence purposes, count me in for next week!

Alec

I'm quite interested, sounds like an amazing experience, just need to sort out my back health.

One quick question, do these jerseys fit reasonably tight? Not a big guy myself, but medium should still be good (unless you have any men's smalls?).

Hi Peter, I'm also looking forward to my first cycling race on Wednesday, that other men's M sounds great, will bring $ on Tuesday!

Alec

What, you guys don't bike to the morning rides like that?....huh, must just be me then

I agree, probably not just the sodium, maybe it was the distraction of pain from your taste buds? Actually I think hydrogen ions from vinegar (acid) could be used to make an osmotic gradient that pulls water in the gut lumen, just like salt is. I think I'll be sticking to gatorade though...

I'm in, sounds like fun

Alec

This is all really useful guys, related to Ian's question about ambitious races, what/when are the best racing chances this summer and which ones would you recommend (most fun, exciting ect.)? Thanks, Alec
