Wednesday ride

Post by Cavegiant »

Hi,

Sprinting the entire red route without a stop sounds a little bit too much effort for me.

Anyone for a more normal ride on Wednesday evening?

You can count me and Norman in. Depends what weather does though. Any ideas on where to ride?

Guys,

With only 2 weeks to the Mountain Mayhem a lot of riders are getting in some last minute training (on and off road).

I suggest this Wednesday;

- Fast riders join Paul's lap of Dalby. (Be honest with yourselves as this won't be Club Run pace so stragglers will be left!)

- Social riders can do an alternative. If you're happy (and confident) sorting yourselves out with a ride that suits me this week as I'm pressed for time. Alternatively I'll come out and lead a ride for you if you'd prefer. Weather at the moment looks like light rain but warm so should be fine for a ride.

I'm more than happy to let the faster riders do their own thing.

Paul, I happy leading the group this week. However could do with some route suggestions. I did have an X trails book but can't find it so I'm a bit stuck for ideas.

Cheers Paul,

Ok, so route is http://connect.garmin.com/activity/33141162

Plan is to meet at go ape car park so we don't get mixed up with the other group. Aim to be there for 7pm as usual. My number is 07876454331 please let me know if your coming so we know we've got everyone before we set off.


Cheers

Hi getting there for 7 is a pain, I will probably be about 10 minutes late (again).
Probably manage to bring wife along (her hip is feeling a lot better).
