Doug K commented on Ryan Kelley's event 'Gator Cycling invites all cyclists to join them on a ride to Eastern suburbs / Bottom of Corkscrew / Kensington Rd'

"Canberra marathon in 7 weeks (my 98th), so after the Alpine Classic I really need to hits the roads. I would like to challenge Kensington with my new 11-32 cassette as I have not yet made it to the top."

"Our 120km ride on Friday to Macclesfield was "warm" with 40C at NS on the way back. Only 22 days to the Alpine Classic, so Giulio and I are hitting the hills (over 5km climbing per week). See you in a few weeks for a ride."

"Not on a Saturday. Do you ride long during the week as two of us are doing about 5km of climbing and over 300km a week for the 200km Alpine Classic in 23 days time? Warm today, but apparently it was hot last year so good training was done."
