Long ride with overnight stay on next long weekend.

On next Sunday I intend to go on a long ride (100 to 120km), to a place away from Sydney and stay overnight (Blue Mountains? New Castle? Hunter Valley? Kiama? ... the direction doesn't matter). Then return on Monday.

I will be leaving on Sunday mid day (racing a half marathon in the morning). Flexible with the return time on Monday.

Anyone would like to join me, or has suggestions about which direction to go, please share.

I can tell you where to go :arrow:

Are you wearing your budgie smugglers again.

Peter O;Sullivan said south to Huskinson is a good ride.

I'm interested, but doubt I can ride at your fiendish ironman pace. Would you be happy with a slow rider and what sort of overnight stay are you thinking of?

Brian, after half marathon in the morning, I will be doing it as a recovery ride, averaging around 30kph. Is it a good pace for you? Thinking of staying at some backpacker place... just to crash for the night :-)

LOL, on a good day I can average 21 kmh, but normally I go at 18 to 19.

Average of 30km/h is not called "recovery"! :lol: :lol: :lol:

It is recovery if you're George Hincapie :) I remember in an interview he said his recovery rides were at 30km/h.
