Susan Barnes commented on Smudge's event 'MCCT Wrecky Ride - Checking out Checkers'"PB up Norton last Monday (bless public holidays)- must be time to slay the Checkers Hill demon."
Susan Barnes replied to Gus K's discussion Chamois cream - who uses it?"Im with Frank, regular moisturising cream does the trick I reckon, and washes out really easily so knicks stay in good knick (sorry, sorry......bad joke alert)"

Susan Barnes replied to Baron Von Thierry's discussion Friggin rain"Its not ME that i worry about when commuting in the rain. I actually quite LIKE riding in the rain, it's close to nature. What i AM getting a little sick of is cleaning the bike every time i ride it. sigh........ worth it tho......"
Susan Barnes replied to Stephanie Wyatt's discussion Female/ beginner"wonderful news! Come on down to the next Cancer Voices ride, 8am Sunday at St Peter's Girls school. Very friendly group with some girls too - and lots of lovely boys who are very accepting of beginners."

Susan Barnes replied to Sophia MacRae's discussion Ideas for Beulah Rd"I agree Ryan. I try to claim the lane as often as possible. I also check my blind spot and make eye contact with the driver behind me if i can, people are less likely to knock someone down they have stared in the eyes !!"

Social Climbers at The Toll Gate
August 15, 2010 from 8am to 12pm

I know there are some who have tried, some who want to try, some who have succeeded and want to do it again and some who do it regularly.

The equipment reviews are also…"
Susan Barnes commented on Gus K's group Cycling book club"I can recommend French Revolutions - it is hilarious and quite poignant.
