On the city ride tonight, a proposal was put forward that we hit Red Hill for some riding, and end the day with beers and bbq.
Now I have no idea where it is or how to get there, but I know there's beer so I'll be there :lol:

So yeh, when we find out where to meet, probably meet earlyish in the day to get some decent riding in before it's too hot, then we can chill out and talk shit for the rest of the arvo whilst relaxing...

More details to come, but if you can get Tuesday off, come join us somewhere for a ride 8)

Allrighty. I can't supply the BBQ as I don't have one, but everyone's free to come around afterwards, as i'll supply beer and snacks... and i'm only 5 mins from Red Hill. A morning start would be preforable.

Hey at least your ass isn't bruised nor your side grazed. Alas, many laughs were had, at the expense of my body and my cranks :(

Next time I'm there, I'll try and hit up most of the manmade stuff, it looks pretty smooth, and now I know what the runout is like I have more confidence.

j-ro
30-09-2003, 09:48 PM
mate there aint much of me that isnt bruised or grazed!

Which run-out? the one outta the white ladder? that thing is absolutely fuct.

Rik
30-09-2003, 09:51 PM

j-ro
30-09-2003, 10:14 PM

A very funny day, I won't be able to look at cheese the same way again.

I went back to the jumps so I could get a lift home and what happened... Snapped the bloody chain... again.

Drivetrains and me just don't mix.

I'll be on the single speed tomorrow night.
