confession time. i did an extra 10k after we split (mainly to avoid
getting 'the list' from 'her-indoors' )

That top speed is 'goin down' this Sunday but dont let that scare you
off, its only one hill and the rest is VERY pedestrian paced. Just
me/tony being 'puppyish'

PS wots the forecast?

What time do you guys finish up normally? I'm still considering the
coffee offer if you're interested, but it'd have to be sometime in the
morning still... And it would involve one more hill!

we are normally back by 10-10:30. and dont worry, there are plenty of
places where you can gain some good speed, and also some places where
you gain very little, espeially when youb have not had the
mostnutritious food the night before and you spend time
walking...........not that it happened to me

Ok see you there. BTW I just did a test run of tomorrow's ride
(motorised two wheel transport) and wish I hadn't seen the hills on the
Warrandyte route! Why can't my 39T ring be in before next week.

Most probably down Harris Gully Hill from Aumanns, that hill nearly
matches some of the Toolangi Hills that are sh%%%$se to climb. I'm
actually slack and ride Beach Rd Sat and Sun plus a bit of spinning
during the week being a vet just trying to keep fit. I start from around
Kew Boulevard but live in North Warrandyte, so its bike in back of car
job to Kew. Last Sunday, bit of late start 8.00 - 8-30 saw the group
going down Harris Gully Road plus a few who stopped at the top who
obviously didn't want to be part of the direct action. You could easy do
more than 80 km down this hill if you were stupid enough. On the flat,
bullshit!, vertical drop, yes!

Cheers

Not bragging by any means, but I've done 85+ down Reynolds Road from
where it hit Tindals Road, towards Springvale Road. Can't remember
exactly, but 88kph rings a bell. Not a bad road surface and dead
straight - if it's speed you're after in that area...
I was circling around through Warrandyte from Rongwood and knew the
hill, so thought "why not? I feel the need, the need for speed".
Probably not helpful unless you're heading back to Box Hill like me.
Good luck with the speed run.
