Kerry's TREK is available. It is women's specific geometry (2012 WSD 4.5 carbon frame) with Shimano 105 (10 speed) size 50 (I think). Kerry is about 168cm so the bike should be fine. Bike has saddle bag with spare tube, lights, bottle cages and SPD double sided pedals (i.e. can be ridden with standa...

I was speaking about the JWJC last weekend with C28 rider Glenn. It appears that the JWJC has been cancelled for 2014.

Hi Spiros probably back at the cafe around 9.00am approx.

Looking good for tomorrow. See you at 6.30am at the cafe.

Cape Solander is definitely on the cards.

Great idea John. I am happily in the 5,000+ category. 2 years ago it was zero.

A t-shirt is a great idea, I would definitely buy one. However, I think it should be different from the club jersey in some way - maybe with one of the vintage logo's that are floating around.

My 20 cents worth. I have had Craft Performance bib shorts for about a year now and they are fine. Have used them weekly and just chuck them in the wash and they are still going strong.
