Yeah, not a bad idea the extra distance to Woy Woy would be good now and then. I'm just getting back in to it after 6 months off. Moved back from New Jersey and all my stuff was on a boat for months, no riding at all in that period. As for riding, I'm not hooked on crits at all, I just did it so I could have a race and see how my fitness was against the locals. I prefer road races and cyclo-cross and I did the MTB race last week at Ourimbah and that is also a GREAT course. That big hill they put in was killing me, I hadn't ridden the MTB at all in 6 months.
I can’t ride this weekend, nephew’s B’day down in Sydney but I’ll try to hook up with you another weekend.
For the initiation I attached the only bike pics I have, they look a bit different these days. The other one I have is just a standard chrome Bianchi Pista.
