walkerr Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Sorry guys - I caused confusion here. My post wasn't to suggest the Hub B / social team do this ride on 28th, but we use the route for future training rides since it sounds like a good one (thanks for that). Having said that - thanks for being cool with any of our emerging team joining as a slower paced group. I'm away that weekend, so sadly wouldn't be able to join anyway - plus I reckon I'd be somewhat off your 23 to 25km/h target pace. Sure if some of the other guys and girls are up for it they'll post though. Wannabe 1

'Dale Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Did not want to hijack your ride, just thought that seeing that they are planning a ride on the same day, starting at the same place, it could be combined. Like you said, a faster group and a slower group. No problemo.

Cool. We have a first team ride planned for 22nd April, so will mention your ride for those who have that day free and feel they have the legs! - Rob Edited April 3, 2012 by walkerr
Wannabe Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 No problemo. Good to have 'Dale back. That Pedal Dancing chap was a bit strange. Tiny K 1
