Well, I went to a start-up meeting with Rye, and was a bit put off by their massive emphasis on Trondheim-Oslo. I may do T-O someday but I'm in no hurry - I only just got a road bike last summer and just want to try out a little racing without a huge commitment. I live north-east in Groruddalen, Ceres is "just around the corner", road riding is nice up thataway and I have a friend who already rides with them. So I sucked it up and went and bought one of their horrendously ugly jerseys Group training starts in a week.

I have another bike riding colleague who lives at Lambertseter. I can send you a pm if you're interested in joining us for a ride sometime.

Good luck with your triathlon! I'm much too bad a swimmer to even consider one, but my camping girlbuddy is thinking of doing her first this summer.
