Anyone interested in doing some riding one or two afternoons a week???

Proberly just be some circuits on the little xc tracks at Ivanhoe maybe up tp yarra bend?? I need to build up some thing that resembles fitness!!!

Would be pretty cruisy, Im on my dh bike with warped rotors!!!!

And given the state of vic dh rounds ( pedally) I could do with being able to pedal all the way down next time we go to Granton!!!

[S.]

Yep, I'd be up for that. I'd be on a jump bike so I'm not goin at any great speed either!

When and where to meet? I'm free Tue, Wed, Thu after school (4pm onwards) and any time Sundays. How bout you?

[Az]

Any one for wed arvo weather permitting???

[S.]

Sure, what time + where?

[mtbdh_girl]

Dammit- wednesdays the one day im in the city all day...oh well...

Went for a ride last thursday roud from fairfield to studley and back- that was cool, but hills suck on a f/s bike... Had a friend with me- it was funny we haven't ridden together for like 2 years, so we get to all the of oad single track stuff and he comes out with "i'd better go first cos I always used to beat you through here..." so I let him go in front up that first climb after the bridge at fairfield, and he got bout halfway up the hill (on a Full rigid) then hopped of to walk... so of course i caught him. Then were at a short gentle no quitwe d/h bit and he wants to go first. I let him get about halfway down and caught him in a couple of seconds. so the rest of the ride was spent "could you ride that?' 'yep' 'well, go on then'

at least i got to show off some new skills that i didn't know i had...good for confidence anyway... wait till i ride with people who actually can ride!!!

[Az]

Yeah I'm still at school, 4 should be alright. If I'm a few minutes late don't panic though!

[Az]

Yeah cool see you there!! any one is welcome to rock up

Im not much of a jumper but we can head over there for it if ya want

[S.]

So bring the shinnies?

[Az]

yeah why not?? we can stash them somewhere while we do some laps.

I havent done any jumping for a while tho

[S.]

Me neither... and even when I WAS jumping, I never got very good at it.

Laps of what? The track near the footbridge?

[Az]

yeah there a little loop there, or we could head up to studley park???

Im not fussed really we can work it out tomorrow

[S.]

Yeah either is cool. There's a fairly nice loop (80% singletrack, 20% bikepath) on a much larger scale; from Bourke Rd underpass, you ride north (towards Heidelberg), just following all the singletracky stuff along there next to the river (there's plenty there) till you get to Manningham Rd, then you cross the river and come back the other way on the other side; the track comes out behind the veneto club; then you can follow the bike path and some singletrack back along the back of Bulleen Park, through the back of the golf course, and it comes out back at the footbridge.

[Az]

you on msn or something that would be easier?? although i did just go hardcore!!


we could met at the vento club I live just around the corner

[S.]

Ahh keep it at the bridge, just in case anyone else wants to go but hasn't posted. I'm off for tonight, so I'll catch ya there tomorrow!

[Az]

any one up for tomorrow (fri)???

socket, we should get into those freeway jumps and see if we can do anything decent with it!!!

[S.]

Depends on the weather... if it's rainy then I'm not doing anything, otherwise ya wanna meet at the freeway jumps about 4:15 and have a go?

[Az]

sorry dude didnt get back to check!!

when are you free and we can have a crack at it?

[S.]

Hmm... I'm free after 4ish Tues, Wed, thur, and sometimes friday as well as all day sunday (usually - sometimes I'm busy during those times).
