Hi. Set the clock for 6.45am this morning. How daft. I'm keen to do a Waterfall either of these two days or maybe both leaving At 6.35 (I'm always 3 mins late).

geoff m

Hope you all had a good time. I had my own Crit today at Nowra. I must say the course is just so bloody good. Would recommend it anytime. One hour plus 2 laps (2.5kms each), lots of sharp bends,down hills, along flats and up this 500 metre hill which doesn't really agree with my gravity (see race re...

Jess and all involved. Looked like a great day. Well done!

My beagle comes from Coota. Maybe I should consider taking her to visit her mum and now many relatives.

I'm interested in doing a Waterfall ride leaving at 6.30 am tomorrow Saturday. Anyone else?

Who ended up registering for this? and how yuz getting home?

geoff m

Its the 1st of the 1st of 11.

Don't forget to renew your licence. Riding without a renewed licence means that you don't have any cover. This also applies to Saturday and Sunday training rides and track training.

geoff m

Ok. Another adhoc ride. Leaving Mick mazzas at 6 am going into Rnp at waterfall and returning at 10am. C28 pace.

Who's coming?

Anyone doing an alternative ride this Sunday? Details?

Or is anyone going out with the Gong Crowd but coming back from Waterfall? (ie like a normal Sunday ride)

OK problem solved. I rang Mr T-Bone. 6700 is a later model for Ultegra, bit more expensive, and slightly better.

I should be going with 12-25 or even 11-25.

geoff m

So the lower the number at the pre-fix, the harder I can ride at high speeds? If I'm 12 now and finding I'm running out of gears at high speed, then 11 is a bit better? If so then 15 would be way to high? Also, what's the difference say in 6600 cassettes and 6700 cassettes which are a bit more expen...

geoff m

I just checked my current cassette. Its 12t-25 6600.

I do find especially on the mad mile I quickly run out of gears when racing at great speed.

25 I'm happy with for Artillery Hill. Much better than 23
