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?

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 wont get any complaints from me! bring on the double espresso

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

IF you're nice, you might get a dash of scotch and a pinch of nutmeg in
your coffee however 🙂 Hmm... now do I have time to make biscotti...

...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.?

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 😄

Last time I saw old warrandyte road, it had concrete pieces
everywhere... resurfacing must have been completed.

its abit rough but thats due to the exposed aggregate surface. it has
obviously been resurfaced since you road it
