everyone piked except Adam, Joan & I! Quite uneventful till a huge peleton of morons passed us just passed Graceville, just where there are lots of roundabouts to manoeuvre around - at least one crash that I heard (Adam had left us by then, and Joan & I were just concentrating on staying on our bikes while the loonies past by us close & fast without regard to their (or our) safety.
The River Loop's getting pretty crowded all of a sudden, time to think about a new course maybe. lots of other pelotons out there today, but only the really big one was ill-behaved.

The funny thing is it was probably the "Gentlemen's Ride" - the Friday bunch from LDV. Every day becomes the Worlds when the weather warms up and the wannabes get back on their bikes.
For a quieter ride, check out the new Western Fwy Bikeway. Perhaps tie it in with Fig Tree Pocket.

Nah the friday LDV ride passed us along Coro Dve when I stopped for a red and they all blew through, unless K&J took a shortcut and it was the same bunch. I was late for work so I had to takeoff, I passed quite a few bunches 🙂 I haven't done the river loop for a while - didn't realise the bikeway up past the green bridge was gone.
oh no, i guess this means i cant get burning legs on that twisty ascent through the cemetary... (or am i thinking of another path?)
oh yes you can, and now you have to start from the bottom and climb up the road all the way 🙂
There used to be a "bike" path up on the RHS of the road as you approach the hill from the bottom, which cut out onto the road after the first little bump.
Yesterday there was a "bike" path on the LHS of the road as you approach the hill from the road at the bottom, which spits you out on the road near the car park.
So today the road is open to cyclists? Hooray! No more fkn footpath.

No same deal as yesterday. I was just saying to Asterope that you have to start at the bottom of the climb now. I actually stayed on the path by mistake this morning and had to curb jump down onto the road.

great... thats even better :p
actually, that hill doesnt seem like as much of a b*tch to me now as it did when i first traversed it... just proving that repetition and perserverance pay off 😄
