Departing the cafe at 5.30am on Saturday the 17th of May - 6.00am bottom of the stairs northern end of the harbour bridge. Cruisey 28s pace, riding in a bunch and regrouping at top of the climbs, bring 2 bidons, 2 tubes, pump and food. We should be back in Marrickville by 12
This is not a sanctioned club ride and not a sufferfest - cruisey 28 pace. You can smash it on the hills but it'll be cruisey 28 between

If I can throw off my cold I'll be there. Looks like being a superb day for the gorges.

58 Galston Gorges will get you an Everest.

Still hoping to come, I'll see how the head is in the morning. Don't wait for me. Are you still hoping to be back by 11.30?

Actually scrap that last post. I'll probably opt for the hills instead. I'll envy you all though. It'll be a great ride.

How can 4 gorges not be a suffer fest?

How many went? just you three? Camille?

Did you stick to the 25-28s pace or was it faster?

Thanks
Steve

Just us 3 Steve, we probably maintained a fast 28s pace as that suited us.
However the pace would have been altered whoever came along, it's no fun dropping people :cry:
Come along next time.

Would love to Peter, though maybe 3 of those gorges is enough for me... thank you.
