Tomorrow's Sufferfest

Post by Claire »

I intend to do this tomorrow - it's the only Saturday ride that works for my schedule this weekend!
I'm just hoping if I put this out there, whoever is doing the ride will notice me riding backwards along the waterfront and yell at me to join in. Does the group actually do a re-group at Matticks, as per the website's description? I will leave Gordon Head around 6 and head around the waterfront, I'm just not sure exactly where I'll intersect with the group - in the dark! :-P

We'll watch for you.

No stop at Mattick's. A brief intermission in Sidney is our only rest stop.

Claire...it's a shame you turned back. As soon as I hit Land's End, the rain stopped and it was nice riding the rest of the way.

You're very kind, Steve, but even if your blistering pace had been manageable for me on a dry day, it was just not sustainable to eat your road spray for another 2 hours! I did enjoy the relative dryness for the other 90' of my ride (I didn't quite turn tail and run home, I tacked on a few extra km's to keep a respectable mileage for the day).

I'll be back. With the right bike for the conditions!

FYI, coming out again tomorrow. Hoping for dry conditions... The forecast seems to have deteriorated somewhat. See you somewhere between Mt Doug and Caddy Bay, most likely.
