As I'll be spoiling the wife for her first Mother's Day this Sunday, I thought I'd do Waterfall on Saturday. Happy to ride solo but anyone wishing to join in is welcome. Fast middy pace.

The day, the destination and time is right. But I feel that I would be 2.5kph too slow for you.

You can sit on the back dougie. No strict rules on turns here. Up to you though.

Hi Phil, Possibly. It kinda depends on how much extra time it adds. I think my time allowance means I need to be back 9:30ish. Is there a route through RNP that adds about 30 minutes?! It might mean no stops, if people are happy with that. I've been wanting to check out this so called 'Wall' for a while but don't know where it is. Have you ridden it?

Mate, if we stick to fast middies pace, minimise stops in the park, get some water at the servo we should be back by around 9:40am. But no time for the wall as it is the other way....

OK, sounds great. Sound OK John? I'll 'hit the wall' another time. It's got me so intrigued... So, Waterfall in, Audley out?

HI Guys,

Id like to join if thats ok.

However It will also be dependant on beer consumption, so please dont wait or anything.

My plan is to hitch a ride to sutherland where im picking up a mate, we intend to drop through the national park at our own pace(waterfall in) as most people will be too quick as Its my friends first time so i think it will knock him about a bit.

Cheers
Pete

I was keen for a fast Waterfall ride.

Not sure I have time for RNP and as the bunch numbers grow the speed will slow and so too the risk of mechanicals - which means that I might do the return leg solo.

See you tomorrow.

All,
The plan of action is depart The Marrick at 6am sharp, pace will be fast-middies (33ish). Due to time restraints, I'd prefer a non-stop/wait policy for mechanicals/punctures/dropped riders, everyone here is proficient with roadside fixes and knows the way right?

I might decide at Waterfall whether RNP is on the cards (timewise). I know it sounds a bit 'every-man-for-himself' so apologies if this doesn't suit. There'll probably be other bunches heading out if you're worried about riding alone. Happy to pick up extras along the way, but I reiterate the non-stop/wait policy.

All that said, I'll probably be the first one dropped. LOL.

See you in the morning!
