Sunday Ride - No Excuses Club Ride

This Sundays ride is the No Excuses Club Ride. Make sure that you attend to get the status update on our fantasy Vuelta team. 

When: Meet in the City at 8:00 am

Where: Even if you don't know the route by now your bike will. Outer Harbor via Port Road

Winter is Over
This Sunday is the first day of Spring, if you couldn't tell by the Magpies swooping you. So Sunday ride marks the end of the Winter Schedule and next week we will return to the Hills. The route will be decided by weather and Whatsapp. We will make sure there are escape routes for those of us with Winter calves.

VELOGAMES FANTASY - LA VUELTA

Well, three stages in, and so far so good... still plenty of time to crash and burn though...

VELOGAMES FANTASY - LA VUELTA

Hi All

BG now have their own fantasy team for La Vuelta on Velogames.

Here are our current team selections.

Suggestions accepted on WhatsApp until 5.00pm today.

Note that Roglic was 24 points, and no one else was more than 14.

Note that I've made Brian DS, so all blame for failure is ascribed to him.

Check out the video of Danish TV using Augmented Reality to cover the TdF. I can see  Brian gathering us all around one to explain the latest pace line variation.

Sunday Ride - End of the Winter Schedule - Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway

This Sunday is the last ride on the winter schedule. It's scheduled as a road less traveled and so given the weather report we will try to do last weeks ride which is definitely less traveled.

Route: Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway 
Meet in the City at 8:00pm

I know it doesn't feel like it but next Sunday is the first day of Spring and is the No Excuses Club ride so you have two beach rides before we start doing hills. Time to come out of hibernation and get training. 

I have already been swooped by my first magpie of Spring. 

Saturday Rides
We are going to start doing Saturday morning rides to give people some options to get fit. These will be organised on Whatsapp and will be of the short, sharp and shiny variety. The initial aim will be rides that get us homeward bound by 10 am and are accessible to help build fitness. Hence they will be set more by consensus than by planning.

If you are not on Whatsapp please download the application and send Michael, Brian or Myself your phone number and we will join you to the chat.

Sunday Ride - Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway

This Sundays Ride is Outer Harbor via Anzac Highway.

Last Sunday was a wash and the forecast is for rain this Sunday. Hopefully it will come a bit later in the day and we can get a ride in Sunday. Please monitor Whatsapp.

Meet in the City at 8:00am 

Oh by the way someone in Dubai paid the most money ever paid for a bike for this. Have a look at the GCN Show. Its a shaft drive and despite appearances its a single gear. My high school engineering tells me a shaft drive is more efficient than a chain drive but surely not enough to warrant this setup. 

I think we should email this guy the Bastardi "Your a D%$k" or "You need an upgrade" calculator  (Time up Nortons in Seconds / Purchase Cost of Bike) 

Sunday Ride - Hallett Cove

I am sitting here looking at the storm rage outside and posting Sundays ride. This weeks is Hallett Cove with some small hills to test the legs.

Monitor whatsapp as the weather is looking 50/50 for Sunday.

Meet  in the City at 8:00 am

As for winter hibernation, too many crumpets, dark mornings etc. It came as a bit of a shock but we only have two rides left on the Winter Schedule and then a Club Ride before the necessity of scheduling sends us into spring training.

So get yourself ready for spring and as a wise Bastardi (Saggio Bastardo) once said "Pain is just the weakness leaving your body"
