I'm a likely starter.

MarkL

I've registered for the 200 ride.

I have a spare rack on my car if anyone needs a lift.

Registration closes at mid-day.

Mark

MarkL

I'm thinking about it, I'd do the 200. I need to do some rides with substance, read 'hills'.

MarkL

Yeah I live in ashfield so I'd like to join around croydon too, about what time? Is the racing cancelled if it rains (looking like it might)?

It would be 6:35- 6:40 at Milton & G R rd.

I hope the route hasn't changed

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Marc.
The way I've ridden out to DG previously with The Club is Mville rd, New Canterbury rd, cut across to Milton st then along Georges River rd.

As far as I'm awhere the route hasn't changed.

A past jump on point has been the cnr of Milton & Georges River rd.

Cheers,
Mark

Eleri, I raced Cron as a Master 4 in the Masters 1- 4 gruppo maybe 3 years ago. It was a good day out and you get to see some good riders in action. There is a hairpin bend at the southern end and then we were accelerating up to 50kph every lap and a nice little climb sat the northern end. I was hap...

I'm in, thou I haven't entered yet.

I'm in.

Has any one ever ridden home before?

Being 2 weeks after the Bright Audax ride, it seems a good time to do another long ride. I'm aiming to ride at least part of the way back

MarkL

Spotted!!! DHBC Wed peloton at Redfern

I'm still getting over a mammoth shift on Mon and headed to CP for laps...and of course coffee and cherry toast

MarkL

I'm glad there was no breakage Jeremy, recover quickly!!

Thanks for the ride Mike and all for the company. This was my first Adventure Ride! Good weather, great scenery and climbing and a good kick off for Audax/ Bright training.

Cheers,
Mark

Hi Eugen, Unfortunately I'm out this year. I've fully recovered from earlier injuries, however, I've lost a lot of fitness. I'm back riding and have improved but I'm no where near race fit, especially for the Grafton. If you're doing a mid distance training ride I might try to tag along. Cheers, Mar...
