Anyone heading out tomorrow? Greg or Steve - feel like dragging me around the peninsula?

I hope to be out tomorrow. See you then!

I'll most likely be out. As for dragging y'all around the peninsula...sure, why not.

Bring your own bungee cord.

Well that was quite a ride. One word: Ugly!!!! Short of the bungee cord, Steve did drag us along. Both of us! There were only Gabe and I desperately trying to hang to Steve in the rain and the wind. Any little hill and Steve was gone! Finally by the time we reached Sydney, we let Steve go. He showed us great mercy and we showed him great respect by encouraging him to fly home on his own. There was no way we could keep up with him. Even just hanging on to his wheel was a challenge! Gabe and I eventually found our way home into a good headwind and pounding rain! Can't wait till tomorrow. Should be lots of fun.
One thing about a ride in conditions like today, it sure helps you appreciate those beautiful sunny mornings that are just ahead of us. There will be beautiful sunny mornings, please, tell me there will be!!!

See you tomorrow at 6!

Chapeau boys. I just couldn't face the rain and dark and cold. After two hours on the trainer I did learn something though - Eva Green is pretty!

Skipped the ride and split the time on extra sleep and the trainer. Considering the rain, I think I came out ahead.

Oh, good heavens, it was gruesome out there. The problem with the MEC Lobster shells is that although they block wind and mist really well, once water gets in, it can't get out.

Squish, squish.

Rode solo so I wouldn't be tempted to do anything stupid, but OMG, the trip back from Sidney was just brutal. Slowest I have ever booked that trip not on a mountain bike.

Two thumbs up to Barton and Steve for dragging my sorry butt around the peninsula. Three thumbs up for the four hour nap I took afterward!
