Bne - LABDO - Friday 29.12 ????
The LardeArse Big Day Out. Its been a long and problematic pregnancy. Time for the birth. Plan (loose): - meet 5.30am Southern Side of Goodwill Bridge - roll out to Dayboro then home via Petrie and Redcliffe - bakery / McDonalds / pizza hut / weight watchers stop / all of the previous as often as required. - alternative route suggestions welcome If Fri does not suit, it can be moved to Sat (still little / no racing in Bne I think?) Abby is checking on availability. I'm good to go either day. In LA style - we go as quick as the slowest rider, and I'll bring a few ocky straps to attach to Adam85's seat post for those that tire early Who else is in?? Asterope - are you any chance of not coming along? (serial piker joke) Tam - was 4 hrs of running today enough to scratch that itch? You free? Lotte - it shouldn't rain, and Daisy will be a bog, so get on board Paullie - got that new roadie frame yet? Donga - bring the lad(s) along [sorry, no smiley fits here] Kevin - its too early to start training for the Epic - get on board the LA express Duracell Bunny - (I know your back stiffens up after abt 40km, but that's why g*d invented ibuprofen and codeine .... ......mmmmmm codeine ) Adam85 - based on your Tambo report, you're not navigating, but please raise your seat post a little (see ocky strap comment above) -- monsterman |

Sorry, can't make it Friday - personal stuff to do that day (would have been my wedding anniversary). Off to Lismore the next day for a few days ... Going stir crazy not being able to ride in this rain ... Hope it goes well for all though, have a good one. -- Duracell Bunny |

Donga - bring the lad(s) along [sorry, no smiley fits here] Thanks MM, will see how it goes. Adam85 - based on your Tambo report, you're not navigating I'm looking forward to seeing this RR. When I piked out, we finally agreed I would head backwards, which it turned out went due north to get to the city in about 25km compared to the 65km it had taken us outbound. Did you get lost, boys? What was the final distance? How was the descent in the wet? Donga |

Tamsin looked at her map of BFP, picked the area with the most contour lines, and said "let's go that way!" We were going really well until it took us almost an hour to cover one particularly nasty 1.5km section which consisted of a disgustingly steep downhill (thank G*d for the rain or we'd have just rolled down it), a creek crossing and then a disgustingly steep uphill. Nice recovery session for my twisted ankle! Tamsin did a calc when she got home and figured that in the mere 23km we'd covered, we'd done over 1250m of up. Anyway I'm up at Noosa this weekend, so I'm out for the LABDO (that looks so wrong) :-( you sure you don't wanna hold off another weekend? *pouts* Tam |

Na mate, we piked just after you, we were going the right way, but I did have the map in my head upside down, so I'm glad I didn't send you south on the Mt Lindsay Hwy! Remember the no through road that we stopped at? I spoke to a local and they have recently closed that road - it used to go through and onto stockleigh Rd, which drops you out about 5km further south onto the MLH, which means it's only a short run to Jimboomba and the Mundoolun Rd which is why I got a bit confused. Anyway instead of going to Canungra we just scooted back to Logan Village via Camp Kable Rd, and had a pie there, hoping to catch you as you went past, but obviously you stayed on the MLH. Thanks for the ride anyway, we did about 120km all up. Adam |

There is another bunch (the Trolls) heading to redcliffe tomorrow morning at 6am from under the victoria bridge, I will roll out with them unless I get blown away by a barrage of late responses to this thread. Donga, if you want to come along, I have a couple of mates who ride regularly with the trolls, and they are a very friendly bunch. They gather under the Southbank end of the Victoria Bridge (hence the name "Trolls"). Ditto Abby if you are able to make it!! I'm keen to do something tomorrow as the weather is going to get more ****ey for the next 3 /4 days after that (which of course was destined to happen the minute I booked a unit on the GC for a week from 2/1/07 ) -- monsterman |

By the way you're posts from cycling forums get all scrambled. Chuck a couple of blank lines in before your reply and it'll fix it. Adam |

It's funny how the rain seems heavy when it's mostly road spray. Donga |
