RTBIAD conspiracy theory.

Finished rtbiad in 12 hours. Well done to BV and volunteers for
the organization. Excellent weather for it.

Was the route on roads in Weribee and Pt Cook chosen so that riders could
lobby Wyndam (speling?) council to install them. Heard a few "get off the
road" shouted by motorists.

 

Meant to say "..council to install bike lanes on them?..."

How bad was the headwind through the sewage joint?? I was leading a group through there and couldn't sit on anything more than 27km/h! I ended up finishing it 10hrs 30mins with actual riding time being 6hrs 57mins. Very happy with that.

 

That part of the route was pretty awful. Maybe it was also to get people to buy property in some of the new housing estates down there.
