FR5 on Good Friday? - (Melb)

What better way to practise *our* religion than by going back to basics and riding with one gear, be it fixed or free.

Cut & Paste from past FR's
The Route:
http://home.iprimus.com.au/adenhollander/fr_map_1.pdf

Start:
07:30 at the cafe on the corner of Gordon St & Glenhuntly Rds (where
glenhuntley crosses the railway line).

Stats:
Distance 35.5k for the loop described.
Ascent 145m nothing too stressful.
GI from 65 to 75, was the range last time.

All just suggestions, with room to move if anyone else has some ideas

I might actually have my fixie up and running by then... however, religion prevents me on Good Friday...

I'll be interstate. *pouts*

Dedicated person that I am, I will happily borrow anyone's fixie, as
long as it is the right size (~50cm), and excercise it's right to be
ridden on this very important religious and/or spiritial ride.

Well that describes my fixie. The gearing's only about 65" but you can spin,
right? Contact me off list and we can talk about how you pick it up. You'll
need your own pedals as mine are MTB spds.

Now that I've seen the post, I am a maybe.....

Depends on logistics!!

Hmm... Another roll down b!tch Rd on the SS? ...can I fix it before friday?

Maybe.

Zat mean the SS is becoming a Fixie or you just need to repair da SS

I'm in

need to get the fixie 'back on the road' but perfect excuse

can you please book in good weather?
15deg, no wind, blue skies please

Ditto. I have been eagerly watching the forecast, as my SS "does not do
wet roads".
It's never been christened so to speak. Don't want to spoil the nice
white paint and clean tyres. :-)

It could become a fixie. Needs a clean too.

So we christen it on Friday?

Ah, the memories of school children stomping on other's new school
shoes.

Can you keep your witty comments shorter dude? I can't
make that my sig! --Hipatia

Sod it. I'll make an effort to join my first FR, Good Friday or not. It is quite addictive - I went for a fixie ride this morning out to Airport West, along Western Ring path to Brimbank Park and then down the Maribyrnong River path home. Nice and peaceful along the river there, plus, I had a laugh at the motorists on the Tulla Fwy, bumper to bumper at about 8am (ha ha).

PS. Can anyone suggest any double sided SPD pedals with flats (so I have the option of steet shoes)?

Whether Forecast is now
"late change with rain" sounds promising

Dutchy. I'm guessing you will be riding to Balwyn after the ride. I''ll
be riding in same direction to Heathmont, do you have a suggested
route. I was thinking Orrong Rd, High St ----Blackburn Rd, Canterbury
Rd.
