Just waiting on the boys to organise one of the days but it looks like....

Saturday morning: Lysterfield

Sunday (mostly all day): Kinglake and BBQ at a friend's place.

Monday: Joining The Freedom Machine (http://www.freedommachine.com.au) crew for a ride arount Mt. Dissapointment. Will get details on this Saturday.


Chuckess and I went out for a spin last night around Ivanhoe. Our orienterring skills put to the test more than anything, It's so hard to find the trails in the dark! The trails were nice and slippery and a whole lot of fun. We tried to find the Freedom Machine crew, but they retired early when one of the boys fell in the Yarra! Oops! :o

Tomorrow with the Freedom Machine boys, there will be a fast and slow group, so we'll pick what takes our fancy on the day. Details are

:Edit: I may be wrong, it might be the race cource, which will mean only a 10km or so ride....finding out now


Mt Dissapointment XC Course

41.6km of huge downhills and great long climbs, starting at 700m, down to 300, up to 600, down again to 310, up to 630, then the last 1/3 consistently up around 700m to the end.

It's a C4, as is 'Hit the Wall'

Chuckess and our lads are coming along, see you there!

I feel sorry for the poor sucker that fell into the Yarra! From what I've heard most people wouldn't swim there even if they were paid to - who knows what you might find! At this time of year though, the poor guy must have nearly frozen! My sympathies to him.
