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 my son severely sprained his ankle and had two xrays. Lucky for me, Therese was there and I had a 2 hour nap in the car.
Only person there was a new guy John, who moved from UK to Melbourne, then recently to Erskineville, and is a member of Brunswick Club.
Road was a bit busy at times, and we picked up Chris 'Boris' Astana on the way, then young Julian out at Loftus (well truth be, he caught us) but once we got to Loftus, the extra lane gave us a chance for all four of us to power past the riders. Managed to get to Waterfall averaging 27kms per hour.
Coming back it was Julian, John and myself. We actually did some paceline work. Then at the Servo, we joined on the back of 10 or so riders with Randwick and other odds and sods, including Richard Laing who recently won Goulbourn to Sydney.
Then John and I were the only riders back at Marrickville Road Cafe.
So, I'm glad I got out of bed.
