Bunch ride 3

Shoppo at 7:20 sounds good to me. however, i think that i will need some week day rides to be in any state to climb elgar road especially at the end of our ride!

having said that, i will still give it a go. who else is in?

Maybe change the start to the Shoppingtown corner of Doncaster/Williamsons Rd and we leave no later than 7:20 from there. That way we can throw in the ending at Doncaster Shoppingtown (and maybe even the Elgar Rd hill too if we are feeling masochistic!)

You guys would be so close to my house if you followed that route that it would almost call for me to set up the espresso machine in the back yard for the end-ride recovery!

You expect me to ride 10 mins to get to the start!! Bah, the
efforts I have to go to.

...oh yea... and COKE!!! 🙂

No ice.. thanks.

If I drink Guinness I'll fall asleep half way home. Bourbon and
Coke will keep me going for another hour.. THEN the other black
stuff THEN sleepy time.. 🙂

Count me in at 7.20am!! Corner of donny/willi road... about 50 metres from my recent ex-gf's place, lovely! haha

Yeah, just letting you know, I will struggle as I've been a 'flathead' for the past year, but i'll finish.

Cheers,
Bill

How long do you reckon it takes you lot to ride from the
start point (which I must've ridden past twice!!) to
where Old Warrandyte veers off Donkeycaster Rd.?

hippy

It's about 10 mins from Thompsons/Manningham Rd to Doncaster
Rd, and then about another 10 mins to Old Warrandyte Rd. So
if it's agreed we are starting at Shoppingtown then about 10
mins to Old Warrandyte Rd. Just make sure you are at the
point where it veers off from Doncaster Rd and not the
intersection where Old Warrandyte Rd crosses Springvale Rd.

Now we are getting somewhere, soon we will be able to refer to the bunch as a train 😄
