Get better Dougie so we can knock this on the head.

Also in reference to Veloflex Master and Vittoria Corso. Be aware that these may be "race" tyres which means they will feel fabulous when you ride but will offer little to no puncture protection on Sydney roads.
Peter

humanbeing

I rate Schwalbe Durano Plus - very tough, good puncture protection. No tyre is impervious and bad luck can destroy a new tyre.

No worries Camille, 3 of us rode at about 28s pace which was fine for us. It was a beautiful day although a bit cold early.
I'm away for a few weeks but when I get back I'll definitely be doing regular longer rides north and south of Sydney.
Have a great ride,
Peter

humanbeing

How many went? just you three? Camille?

Did you stick to the 25-28s pace or was it faster?

Just us 3 Steve, we probably maintained a fast 28s pace as that suited us.
However the pace would have been altered whoever came along, it's no fun dropping people

Come along next time.

Hi Anthony, Thanks for the editorial link. That makes most of the key points well. I believe cyclists are largely scapegoats for car drivers who are fed up with sitting in traffic jams and struggle to tolerate any threat to their progress. The licensing of bikes is a silly idea. Every day, whether ...
