Non Fixie Imperial Century day trip 21st August

Completely forgot. Turned up for Waterfall yesterday and Michelle said "Aren't you meant to be on the Adventure ride??"
Oops - sorry. Would have been much more fun than a day painting the house.

Hope the wind and weather was kind for you all.

A great ride, in fine company indeed. A quick thank you, Eleri & Mike for organising the ride, assistance with mechanicals, and Mike for suggesting the abridged return route from Stanwell Tops via the Old H'way rather than the return climb back out through RNP. As it was the 120k door-to-door, a hearty feed and a couple of pinots was enough to induce a very solid 8-hour coma. Cheers.

[Stuart]

had a fun ride too and admire those who can keep up the peddling for 160k's. Thanks to Eleri & Mike for the organising and to Camilla for the fine breakfast cafe knowledge. I was glad to be on the train at the 'gong, although I did stuff up the timetable so we waited till 11:50 for the train - only 20 mins out. (oh & Jo the builder I owe you $10 - get it off Jo at RAW this week).

Here's some more pics, possibly showing that the iPhone4 camera is better than a Blackberry Bold 9700 camera.

we were waiting for those who were helping with Pat's flat - perfectly compose to show the seabridge .. kinda

Well Stu, you better pay me the $10 bucks first, not sure I can trust you to pay it back to me?

Jo the builder: Never trust a man wearing a DHBC jersey they say!!

Haha. The alternative was to leave Stuart on the platform until the rest of the group came along at 5pm.

And it was only $7.80.

Wouldn't have been that bad -ended up being circa 4pm, and (cough) somewhat less than $7.80

Have to say the ride was a stunning success. I was concerned about my core fitness and to be honest I couldn't of done it the previous week, but it held up.

Mike, you looked pretty good on the bike. I know it hurts but it didn't look like you were hurting. It was a good ride.
