Then lets stick with 7:00am Saturday. I'll be watching the clock myself, kids get cranky when daddy is late especially after not seeing him for a week. I hate conflicts of interest like that.
What time do we need to get you home by? 9:30 kosher?

Expat, I wouldn't care if was called Fred so long as I could enjoy the ride and win the odd race or two on it.
berny, your not alone. I'm so far down the tree I couldn't be bothered following the local scene, even when the internationals come down to play. Just follow the progress of the Aussies and anyone whose name ends with the letters 'OV' in the Tour.

So Sat is the day, I'll see what the weekend is looking like and let you know. Is it a ride or a coffee excursion? i.e. bring the road bike or the single speed cruiser?

Southerly just hit Sydney Airport. No rain on the radar yet tho. Conditions could turn out OK for racing tonight.

Pace will be cruisey, and the ride will definitely be interrupted by a long stay at some place what sells melted crayons. BYO tissues. Expat, bring the missus and the Ti Tandem. Back to Lambton by 9:30 so Expat can get to work. Who works on a Saturday? Haven't you ever heard of a sickie?
The recovery ride afterwards will be a 2-3hrs of undulations at a sedate 35kmh
