carlos (the ironman) is around at my place at the moment with his posse (the avengers) painting the inside of my house. as such, the kids are in the lounge room, the kitchen is in the store room and the computer is packed away. lucky i have a computer at work…
spr kit – the order has been sent off so i really need to clarify something here. once we have the kit, the distribution will be at the coffee shop after the saturday ride for a number of weekends. i recently received an email from a very unhappy camper who was asking where his kit was and how come i haven;’t contacted him after i took his money. and now he doesn’t want the kit as it has taken so long that he has bought other kit. so anyway, it was obvious that he didn;t ride with us regularly or even read the website, so not sure why he bought the kit. the point is, keep your eye on the website for information as to when the kit will be ready for collection. i did reply back to this guy and offered him a refund, but it has been a week and an half and he still hasn’t responded.
saturday hills ride – there has been a request for a saturday hills ride this week as it is mothers day on sunday and a lot of people are not allowed out of the house…or should i say, a lot of people have to stay to supervise young ones attempt to make breakfast in bed for mum. as such there will be a hills ride planned that will leave at 7am just after the rest of the rides. there has been some talk for a while about offering a ride on saturday, so we will see how this week goes to determine whether we can run this on a regular basis.
you tube – check out the link below. nice quite road, good conditions, easy downhill, too damn fast. watch it all the way to the end to see how luck he was.

Peter. Great idea to have a Saturday hills ride. In the winter due to my boys Soccer commitments I can rarely make the Sunday hills rides, and as I prefer a hills rides to the flats I for one will support the idea of a regular Saturday ride.
See you there.
Huh!
Saturday Hills Ride worked well. 11 hardy riders braved it.
On the plus side, got a good ride in and won’t feel guilty if I sleep in on Sunday. On the minus side, hills don’t become less steep on other days of the week! – and I missed Dome.
Great flat saturday ride, even if it was windy as hell. Are there two Abernathy routes now, since I’m sure we usually turn left at one of the junctions, then first right (Garmin white arrow was going nice n’ strong) but on Saturday we turned left and kept going? Anyhow, I luvved it.
Friday’s SPR rides have been superb recently, too – lots of consideration being shown for all on the ride. Keep up the good work!!
