I'm still up for it, although might want to adjust the
distance depending on the weather (and whether I'm likely to
have a heart attack now that I remember what the hills are
like out that way). I'll be up around 6:30 and as long as
the weather is just for showers I'll be riding. If the
weather is a disaster, eg. patches of pink or red on the
radar loop, I'll drop a message here if I want out.

wish i were as wise as you
"Wont be that bad!" Im convincing myself. House full of snivelling, coughing people. must bail. Besides that's a thumpin North-westerly, BOM says...
Sure enough, cruising down to Mordy with a very nice (if not wild/squally) tailwind.
Gee, aint ridin a bike grand
Oh wait. wind has suddenly swung around to a howling Westerly. fighting to keep bike upright. grovelling along at about 22kph. partial respite thru Olivers Hill/Mt Eliza then coming down hill on Sth side to Freeway crossover the wind is so strong Im crawling DOWNHILL at 25kph when i would normally do 60kph down here:
mad: that stretch west to bottom of whites rd was simply the WORST cycling experience EVER!!!
if i had had deep section wheels on i would have taken off. actually had the weird feeling of a tailwind going uphill.
Nothing like that hot shower to reacquaint with one's toes and stop the nose dripping. Red wine and open fireplace never felt sooooo goooood
This morning in comparison was just a lovely ride! met some new morning nomads and was introduced to a great ride. Thanks tony and Dave
and we even saw kangaroos in Kangaroo Grounds!
and Im betting someone doesnt tell of the bonking to their nutritionist girlfriend

Maybe you better clarify for Tony's sake that you meant
bonking in the sporting sense and not int he shenanigans
sense (just in case Tony's girlfriend is keeping an eye on
him in here). Personally I was grateful for the bonking,
otherwise you guys would have left me on the first hill
(knew I was in trouble with a heart rate of 170 5 mins into
the ride).

im glad it was clarified cos up until today i thought bonking only refered to something people do when they love eachother
. you would think that one would learn that no dinner the night before and no breakfast can only mean one thing......nausia.....
apart from that the ride was good, cheers boys.
No ridees last night or today (or probably tomorrow)
Damn spawn have finally passed on their damn lurgy to me.
Curse you, disease-spreading-education-system

eat that dinner, Tony

PS: before anyone knocks me for being 25 and having my grandmother stay over to cook for me, just think to yourself......"am i knocking him because i am jelous?" i think so

A mate of mine has worked out a circuit that includes the
Yarra Trail, Mullin Mullin trail and the Eastern Fwy. About
50km all up. I'll be doing that Sunday morning so will miss
the TonyKara hill climbers ride, but will let you know how
this route goes (MTB only though because I understand it's
not all paved trail).

Hmmmmmm, marinated lamb. Best feast I ever attended was a
Greek christening. Passed one on a run the other week which
stopped me in my tracks.
