No need to explain: My free time is currently being killed by
work/study/new baby, so 'nuff said.

But given that, I'm still happy to do the swap sometime, and the bike is
much cleaner and happier than it was before. Drop me an email and we'll
hash out the details.


And Hippy - feel free to join us if you like. We can both interrogate
you on what the 24hr race is really like as part of our 'training'!

i was going to type out the route but i couldnt be f'ed....Dutchy, great
job, especially when trying to describe Dave's intricate back street
route.......

PS: you forgot to mention that the stalet drivers were going at the
speed limit and we decided to show that patachi is not the only one
who can travel at 75km/h on the flat.........ok maybe it was abit
less. but im speaking to Lance armstrong this saturday and he said
he had some groath hormone left over ..........

cheers guys see you all for BR3........

PS eddie. Im still up for that bike-swap if you are

work/life/starting-up-own-business is killing my free time tho...

If you meet us Hippy, no need to 'plot' at all

Just a hint ... You'll need a 3-D plotter. HILLS

I'm thinking about joining you lot.. but thinking and doing, for me, are
two vastly different things. I'll probably wake at 9 and make it down
that way around 11am.. try and ride some of the circuit, get lost, yell
at inanimate objects.. recognise a road, ride home..

Do you guys ride in the rain?

Guys, I was waiting at corner of blackburn road and doncaster road
around 7.30 for a big pack to come, but gave up! I did a route of
doncaster and home via reynolds road hills. i did speak to a bunch of
riders later in the morning up reynolds rd who said they start from
bulleen road... must have been 10 of them!
