Also in reference to Veloflex Master and Vittoria Corso. Be aware that these may be "race" tyres which means they will feel fabulous when you ride but will offer little to no puncture protection on Sydney roads.

No worries Camille, 3 of us rode at about 28s pace which was fine for us. It was a beautiful day although a bit cold early.
I'm away for a few weeks but when I get back I'll definitely be doing regular longer rides north and south of Sydney.
