Well I convinced my brother in law to do the ATB 210km option with me, he did it last year. Route B he reckons is the way to go so I may see some of you Melbournites down there.

Mate of mine rides a 5200 (couple of years old now) & likes it enough to have replaced it with the same after his original one was stolen. He's done the Murray to Moyne ride on it & says it's a nice comfortable ride.

Not much interest at the club re: 250k ride. A few mentioned the fact that the detour through Portarlington is gonna take a fair bit more than half an hour so the 210k peeps will hit the ferry around the same time.
We have a bunch doing the 210k Melb-Sorrento-Melb... noone wants to get screwed around at the ferries again.

Get onto a good myotherapist for back fixing massage work. The deep tissue stuff can hurt like hell at the time but I've found it to be really helpful.
