It's a beauty.
And there's no way it could rain like last year.

'That hill' isn't actually part of the ride... unless you want to take a shortcut back to the train station
Correction - Jo & I are both registered. I love the idea of a ride that ends at a pub. Still would like a bus - maybe I dreamed they were talking about oneOK I'm in - how to get from the pub to the train people - I thought I read they were organising a bus this year?
I'd say all the DHBCer's would meet at the usual place and ride out to the start together at a nice C28 pace (please). We can pick you up on the way Hung if you like.

Camilla and Amy and advise the route to the train stationOK I'm in - how to get from the pub to the train people - I thought I read they were organising a bus this year?
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
I was thinking the same thingWhat time do we meet at Mick Mazza's to ride out?
what time does the C28's get to sutherland if they leave at 6.30am does anyone know ??
or
shall all riders going into the JWJC leave at say 6.20am from MM and take it easy out to loftus to save your legs for the RNP .
shall we ride as a group and have meeting pionts along the way to wait for the slower riders Namely ME
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
I'll be leaving from MM at 6:00 I'd say as I need to ride slower than 28kph avg. Like at about 23 avg to save my legs. So if anybody else slow wants to ride to the start then is that an OK time? If no other slow riders, I'll get the train from Sydenham to Loftus at 6:15 arriving at 6:53It's about 28kms from MM to Loftus and therefore takes 1 hour to get there according to the last trip I did anyway. Presumably we want to get there a bit before the start?

You could ride back with Mark, Amy and IWho ended up registering for this? and how yuz getting home?
Joanne, we are adding Macquarie pass to the way down, it would be good training for youA few of us have entered including Eleri, Camilla, Stu, Myself, Hung, Pete (3rd St). Some are riding home (Crazy people like Lacey and Amy), but I guess the majority will train it home.
I'll ride with you Stuart. 6am at MM is fine and we won't be rushed and will be there in plenty of time to take the obligatory start photo, fill up our water bottles etc.I'll be leaving from MM at 6:00 I'd say as I need to ride slower than 28kph avg. Like at about 23 avg to save my legs. So if anybody else slow wants to ride to the start then is that an OK time?

I will ride with you guys but meet you at the corner of grand pde and president ave at 6.20am I will be at the bus stop waiting
do what i do bestForecast is 90% chance for rain on Sun - if it's raining Jo & I won't be there. I'm also still seriously thinking of the train because this group of riders are all a bit fast for me. I'll make the train decision on Sat.
wheel suck all the way
and yell out EASE UP
![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)
I'm still thinking it's a 6am start and that, as no-one is actually organising it, that people will turn up, or they won't. Unless it's actually raining in the morning, I'm planning to go.
The weather report seems to be slightly better than it looked a couple of days ago or even this morning. Annoyingly, the wind prediction has moved from "northeast" which was good to "southeast" which is less good.

Barring thunder and lightening I'll be at MM at 6. Gale force winds might put me off too. Maybe flooding. But on the whole I'm choosing to take a positive outlook on a little foul weather and consider it a good bonding exercise. Some of my most memorable rides have been in the rain.
Well this was an epic ride and one I would like to do next year. Congrats to thr organizers who did a great job with minimal fuss. Signage along the way was superb.
We started out in the pooring rain which was unpleasant when the rain and wheel flick sprayed heavily into our faces. At Loftus we met the ride start. All up we had a few riders. Ron, Hung Andre and Michelle, Camilla and Colin. We didn't know about Ron until we passed him south of Wollongong.
The rain stopped and stayed that way for the rest of the day but remained overcast which was good.
Going thru RNP is just magical. And I loved the escarpement. So pretty. We stopped for coffee at a high school friends cafe in Austinmer which was great then headed into Wollongong. I went into central wollongong for the first time in my life. Then we headed out past port kembla again for my fiirst time. We were powering down at this stage at about 38 kms per hour with Camilla , me,Colin and andre in a peleton. It was fast.
Nearer to kiama we headed across a small rural road into Jamberoo.
Nice work team dulwich hill.

Some great shots by ActionSnaps (who gave Camilla lots of encouragement - not that she needed it - she was powering away)
