All,
An open invite to all the fixed riders (and single speeders) for a bunch ride through the flat lands.
As per the previous FR's
FR suggestion:
Start: At the cafe on the corner of Gordon St & Glenhuntly Rds (where glenhuntley crosses the railway line)
Down rusden street and around to the right (past daily planet)
Cross Dandy road
Left at new street (longish bit down here to brighton beach)
Left at beach rd (old skool crossing gates across railway line) longish bit on beach road)
Along beach road the bunch split (basically by gear inches) those trailing off turn left at Charman rd (beaumaris - top of the hill where beach rd has the bike lane) and then left at Balcome Rd to the clock tower for a re-group.
Left at warrigal rd
left at como pde (before railwayline)
Left at balcome road
To Clock tower at black rock (re-group here) and right onto beach rd
Right back onto St kilda street (at the right from left bit)
Right onto glenhuntly
Coffee in Glenhuntly (and best muffins ever - i know, huge claim but not made by me)
For more info Look for the FR1, FR2, RR:FR1 & RR:FR2threads.

Distance 35.5k for the loop described
Ascent 145m nothing too stressful
Fixed I assume that the average will be 28/29kph
Fixed gear from 65 to 75, was the range last time, with 69 being the perfect gear.
Watch out for triathletes on beach road when riding funny bikes.
Talk amongst yourself!
