Only from Applecross to West Perth, sometimes not long enough a ride, but when the wind is up it's too far! Out on the mtb today with the temp going up, it forces me to go slower! I'll say hi if I see you again :D
Hope the bush fire passed you by without any damage....
A surly pacer here, for cruising and distance I just love the comfort of the steel frame
That is awesome! I love where bike technology has gone since I rode - many moons ago. I got a 10 speed BSA when I was 12 and rode it everywhere for the next 15 years. My only bike now has a 1000cc motor in it, so I guess that doesn't count, but boy I sometimes wish I coud get back into it all again...:)Quote:

I did my biggest ride to date today 71ks from Doncaster East to Sassafras return (in the Dandenongs for non Melbourne people). ive become a bit of a strava (cycling app) addict as i find it helps me to see if im getting better and i can check bike paths for hills before i ride them.
Being over 110kg hills and headwinds are my enemy but im getting fitter.
I have a 2010 Malvern star Oppy C7.

it's not that one... but that's what it's like. Got it early 2011, did about 4500kms in the first 6 months of owning it. But i've gotten slack these days, I have to get it back out and start riding.
I ride a Trek Madone 5.2 2011. I do anywhere from 150-250km a week.
first ride 'commute' for the year yesterday
i remember when I used to commute to work everyday, on a bike. Was great! Like a time trial to and from work, haha. :D Can't do that these days though, got to drive the work van around :(Quote:

Once you've had a Colnago, you can't go back!!!:cool:
