Hi All,
Due to the Sydney to Gong Ride this weekend, the Sunday morning Waterfall rides have been cancelled this Sunday 4th November.
Instead, Geoff Martin has offered to take a C28's+ ride to the Eastern Suburbs. This will be leaving the Marrickville Rd. Cafe at 6:30am.
Please note, we made a decision not to run this ride at C25's pace as there will likely be more traffic in this area and so do so for safety reasons. We also suggest that this is not a ride suitable for those new to bunch riding.
I understand there is also Waratah's Masters racing at Lansdowne for those that are interested.
Congratulations to the DHBC team for raising nearly $10,000 for the MS Society! Good Luck on Sunday.
Regards,
Jo
Waterfall Ride Cancelled due to Gong Ride Sunday 4th Nov
the Sunday morning Waterfall rides have been cancelled this Sunday 4th November.
NoooooooooI missed the last 3 waterfall runs and was looking forward to this weeks one. Need a fix, need a fix .....
Masters riders with a race license: Trouty & I are going racing with Waratah Masters at Lansdowne - if you've got a race license it's a great morning out. C, D & E grade ready to race at 7:45am on the purpose built, hotmixed 2k crit track (A & B at 9:00am). You should come along Marc2131 - race D with me and you could place if you can sprint (although they may put you in C with Jo - just claim you hardly ever race and it's your first Waratah's event etc etc ).

Hmmmm very tempted.Masters riders with a race license: Trouty & I are going racing with Waratah Masters at Lansdowne - if you've got a race license it's a great morning out.

Would prefer to do grade D. Would be nice to stay with the group and get a feel of the race. Couldn't do that at my last foray at Heffron in the C grade, 2 weeks ago.
How are people getting there? Will probably take a train to Leightonfield Station and ride in. Anyone taking this option too?

As it's your first race with vets just tell them you don't ride much and it's your first race. They should put you in D. Trouty can back you upHmmmm very tempted. Would prefer to do grade D.

I'm out.
Had a little spill outside Lewisham Stn yesterday, on the way home from work. Nothing bad but landed on one knee and pulled a muscle in a calf. Prefer to let it heal properly.

Go A grade, you get to sleep in an extra 1.25 hours
Was using my commuter 'Bob Jackson' bike. The frame is okay but I think the Cinelli bars are bent. Other than that, still rideable. Thinking of replacing them with the bullbars I bought from the WOOP festival swap meet a few weeks ago. Hmmmm.it's all well and good that you are ok, but how is the bike?
that sucks. 
Also tempted by this. I assume you arrive and register on the morning? I couldn't find any notes on how to register on the website. Will look in the garage to see if my road bike is still in there.
just roll up with your race license and $15. They'll take a look at you and decide which grade to put you in. Then you can argue the point.Also tempted by this.

Seeing as everyone else is going and I have nowhere else to go...
Successful morning at Lansdowne for the Club. Another well run Waratah meet.
