Sunday Ride - Cudlee Creek via the Ranges

Sunday Ride - Cudlee Creek via the Ranges

Remember Daylight Savings Ends

This Sunday's ride is a Hills ride rather than a first Sunday of the month club ride to allow for Easter Sunday to be a short ride. The weather looks good with light winds and 23 degrees. I think arm-warmers will certainly be needed. Daylight Savings ends this Sunday so thats an extra hour in bed for everyone.

Meet: 7:30am in the City or 8:00am at the Tower

Route: City, Tower, Norton Summit, Ashton, Basket Range, Forrest Range, Lenswood, Fox Creek, Cudlee Creek

Coffee at Cudlee Creek

Home via the Gorge.

PS: This weekend in the Tour of Flanders

Nina Update

Nina is recovering and her face no longer looks like a Pizza but as suspected she has a fracture to contend with. Get Well soon Nina.

Other News 

The spring classics have started with GENT - WEVELGEM  this weekend.

I know that this pushes the new editorial guidelines to the limit however one of my Canberra mates sent me the GPX map of the Mt Stromlo Criterium track.  I thought that given the number of property professionals in the group I would share. Makes you wonder what they were drinking in the planner's office on that Friday afternoon and also what have they called the Strava segments.

Sunday Ride - Hahndorf and Women Down

Sunday Ride - Hahndorf and Women Down

Women Down

We had some bad news with Nina having a front tyre blowout as she was descending the steep hairpin on Woods Hill Rd on a Tuesday morning ride. The result was that she hit the bitumen at speed resulting in 6 stiches above her eye, concussion, and lost skin. We are waiting to hear if she has a fracture, so fingers crossed it’s okay.  Best wishes from all the BG Nina we hope you get well soon.
