Fabulous advice from all. Luv your work. Do well, go far.
57kg? Be careful on some of the descents then brother, there are the occasional cross winds that could knock a feller for 6! I've clocked up to 89.7 before and got the dreaded death wobbles, but fought back and got control. Sworn ever since then not…
I am sure the bride will love her new Cannondale which happens to fit you
No wonder you have to descend, at 57kgs you could climb a wall on your bike.
Well done on the weight loss.
You deserve a Synapse!
Bert will look after ya, he`s a mate of mine.

Perhaps a social training ride with the helpful friendly southern vets and ladies cycling club ... these guys often ride Wickhams, Pennys hill willunga etc. You could find them at koffee`n` snacks on a tuesday or thursday morning at Mc claren vale a…
In a low range land cruiser!
Can anybody comment on or guide me to information on how best to do a steep descent (e.g. Wickhams Hill Road, Willunga)?
I agree with you Carla about the TDU organisation. As a Seniors card-holding newcomer to this caper, my first ride was the 100kms version of Amy's ride on my old clunker of a mountain bike ($300 was lot of money in 1998) with my little non-Seniors c…
