A Very Bastardi Christmas to you all
This Sunday is the Christmas Show ride and as usual we have done a calculation or the average BG Beer, Wine, Seafood, Turkey, Mince pie and Ham consumption for next 33 days and frankly its scary. So we have set a ride to make sure you have lots of credit in the calorie bank. So, before we all go into a month of eating and drinking far too much here is the pre-emptive calorie burn ride.
Weather looks perfect for a change. 27 degrees, light winds
Like every Christmas we set the Full Monty for this ride and then sanity prevails. We will do the Norton’s, Lenswood, Cudlee Creek loop.
NO CITY MEET. Early start so we won’t be rushing as beer doesn’t start until 11:30am
Meet at the Tower Hotel at 7:30 am for a leisurely departure
Route: Norton’s, Ashton, Basket Range, Forest Range, Lenswood, Fox Creek (downhill)
Cudlee Creek ETA 9:45 am. A quick coffee at Cudlee Creek. We should depart Cudlee Creek no later than 10:30am
Back: Then back down the Gorge, Stradbroke Rd, Glen Stuart Rd and back to the Tower.
The Monty: If anyone is feeling frisky and wants to go up the Corkscrew and complete the Full Monty go for it.
Lunch: I have booked a large table under Aldo for 12pm although the lady taking the booking confessed to being dyslexic so it may be under Also. We are aiming to reach the Tower for Christmas Lunch by 11:30 am so we can have a beer first. Kitchen opens at 12pm
If you are not riding, we would still like to see you all for a Christmas catch up.
