brumbies ride (Melbourne)

[Rman]

Folks, does anyone know if the Wednesday ride of the Brumbies ride is a "hard" or "easy" day ?

I only ride the Tue/Thursday "hard" days, but went the "snooze" option on the alarm this morning and
snoozed all the way through until 7:00 am.

I don't know, but how hard are the Tue/Thu's anyway? I'm looking for a hard day which is a bit easier than the hour of power, but I don;t know anyone who does the brumbies bunch.

It is easier than the hour of power. The speed rarely gets above 45 kmh, and the av. over the 35 ish
km is probably sub 40 kmh. What I like the best about it is that I can do turns for the whole ride,
but in the hour of power, I'm lucky to do more than 3 or 4.

The attitude is less competitive and the smaller size means more effort in calling out
obstacles etc.

There are few of us who have crossed over from the dark side.........

The "hour of power" is the Tue/Thu session. Wed is medium out and hard back (small chainring day) and Mon/Fri are easy. They all start at 6am.

Having said atht, sometimes the rules aren;t followed. The Wed has been pretty hard in recent weeks.
