Re: Ride to Conquer Cancer October 12th/13th 2012
Might be old news, but the Ride Route is now up and published:
http://sy12.conquercancer.org.au/site/P ... dule_rider
Just click on "The Route".
It's a Google map rather than showing any terrain BTW. Guessing though it's a flattish ride?

Re: Bike Setup for Climbing?
I'm pretty sure that I'll be jamming on a compact for the Three Peaks ride itself. More a question of what I do in the interim to build for it.
I can muscle the 39 x 25 out of Audley now, but there isn't a bloody thing comfortable about it

Bike Setup for Climbing?
Lo All I'm trying to improve my climbing significantly over the next few months (for a delusional attempt on the Three Peaks in March), and just wanted to see how I should adapt my bike setup (if at all)? I'm currently riding 53/39 and 12-25, and to be honest I really feel like I'm struggling to sta...

Hi Spiros
I'm keen, though I think I might have cooked myself riding the eastern suburbs hills this morning. Will deffo ride Waterfall though - perhaps we can chat then. I'll be in a Blue-Green Cell top riding a Silver/Grey Orbea.
Cheers

Re: RNP Tomorrow Anyone??
I just signed up for the Three Peaks, so I too have joined the "bitten off more than I can chew and about to chew hard" camp.
Perhaps we could go to Waterfall with the C25s then drop in to RNP from there? I was pretty cooked by Waterfall riding with the C28s on the weekend

Makes sense.
I'm actually keen to start having a crack at such things, though I dare say I'm a long way off the pace you guys would set. Any C25/C28 folk want to give this a bash soon?

Re: Cell Bib Shorts for 20 bucks
Gave my Cell specials a run this morning on the Wednesday ride. Went well.
In terms of sizing I'm 5'10" (177-178cm) and 86 kilos (great weight for climbing. No, really) and the large seems a reasonable fit

Guessing we're largely riding going to be riding the M7 bike path, but that's a guess on my part. God knows what one will do between getting to Camden and nightfall....
