Re: Waterfall ride: Middies vs Fasties
I think the biggest leap will be trying to move between 28's and Middies. As the Middies get fitter the gap gets bigger. The leap is not only one of fitness but that of bike handling skill also. It seems to me that in the 28's the hammer gets dropped at Marrickville to the Princes Highway. This is t...

Re: Waterfall ride: Middies vs Fasties
i think there should be kudos in moving up a bunch and being subsequently dropped. Shame doesn't even enter the equation.So if you're one of the middies that likes to push the pace, Alan, then ride up a bunch, there is no shame in getting dropped.
