How was the ride to Waterfall Geoff? I must say there were a lot of people on the road by 6 - 6.15am, but I think the return ride to Waterfall would have been free and clear. I guess there was only 1 DHBC Group going? It was pretty good. I turned up at 6.15 after coming out of RPA at 2.30am after m...

Every year I've ridden to Waterfall and back leaving early and traffic isn't too bad alongside the Gong riders.

Anyone interested, I'm leaving Mick Mazza's at 6.15am sharp.

Anyone definitely coming, pls make a note below.

Coming back from Waterfall its the usual ride and traffic.

Couple of thoughts. Often you will find glass embedded into the rubber tyre. When changing a tyre take time to run your fingers along the inside and use your eyes as well. Often, if time is available, turn it inside out so the stretching of the tyre on the inside wall often shows protruding glass fr...

I think Stuart might be right.... We saw quite a few cruisers who had been dropped. About 5 or six from Capt Cook's bridge all the way to Waterfall.

The middies bunch was brilliant today. Stayed on a good pace and the group was very smooth. Interesting enough, we still managed to average 31.5km/ph which is not a bad pace.
