Sundays Ride is Pain Delayed

 This Sundays Ride is the Pain Lives Here loop held over from last Sunday due to lightning and storms. We were hanging off due to the forecast for the next 2 days. However it looks like the heat from Friday and Saturday will have moderated and it will be a very pleasant 24  degrees. 

Meet: In the City at 7:30 or the Tower Hotel car park 

Route: Nortons, Ashton, Basket Range, Forrest Range, Deviation Rd, Greenhill Rd 

Coffee at Urlaidla 

Home via Lofty Summit. 

See you Sunday.


Dunkin Doughnuts Tandem Bike

I am not sure if you have seen this Christmas offering from Dunkin Doughnuts for $500. Its not a kids bike its a full sized road frame. I am not an expert on bike geometry but  this cant possibly work can it?. If you had Tilley on the back you would be perpendicular to the tarmac pointing to the sky.
