Hi All
I'll be leading (from the back) a ride heading to Monavale tomorrow.
Route will be via Anzac bridge, SHB, along military rd to Spit Bridge. Up the back rd on the other side and along Pittwater Rd to Monavale.
Return will be via wakehurst parkway, across spit bridge and after a short stint on military rd, back roads to SHB.
Ride will be at slowies pace and will be a no drop ride
Departure time will be 7am from Mick Mazza's

Geoff

I must say it was a very pleasant way to finish the long weekend. The perfect ride I needed Monday. Thanks Geoff and the rest of the DHBC crew who made it a great ride. A shame we had to drop Brian - but on a ride that long with hills it would have made the ride quite lengthy on a recumbent.

Back to work today... :(

no harm done, I spent a while exploring parts of the harbour I had not been to before. But I will have a quip. It does say a saturday slowies pace, and you were going faster than that! :-P

Glad you got some good exploring in. I will say though that Stuart is a Saturday slowie, so if the recumbant couldn't keep up with him for the first 10km - the remaining 60km would have taken us most of the day. None of us were going what we call even moderately fast prior to losing you at Crystal St. I think it is a hard ask to expect a recumbant to keep up with cyclists on this type of ride, although I do know you are pretty quick. Hope to see you at slowies again.

Cheers.

I believe GeoffS was referring to the old " Waterfall Slowies", rather than Sat Slowies. 80km at Sat Slowies pace would have taken the bulk of a day and would have to mix with heavy motor traffic.
