Ben ... I find Tuesdays are prolly the best for most of the peeps ... but Mark (Mog) and Rodd (NSM) seem to ride every bloody day :p ... Best to just pick a day you can get up there and tag along to where ever they haven't ridden recently ... still haven't managed to get to Mt York
Cool...count me in for a ride on Tues 21st then, I don't mind where!

Yeah that certain person is a dickhead, I know him well. :)

I'll be in.. how 'bout Thursday morning... a super early start would probably be best for me.

You think this is SS ok or you doing it on your duallie... I ask because my Trance is out of action till I get a new BB.

Can't do Monday unfortunately... BBQ stuff and all. Darn... also no suitable bike. Hopefully you like it and go again. :)

Does this mean you are employed now?
Just got a TXT from the Boss ... its a yes and no answer ... I apparently start Thursday (start day number 5) ... but every man and his dog has now approved my contract (hopefully get it wednesday) ... so as close as its gotten so far I guess

Soooooo ... potentially one more attempt at Mt York on Tuesday ... or anywhere up there really ... I'll confirm Monday night.

If its more down then up and a tech-fest then I'll bring the bullit ... have a think

Well I guess that is good... good to have money, but does stuff up your bike riding :)

If we go Mt York I will be on the single speed (will be a few days till I get my new bottom bracket for the trance) so the bullit would match me well.

Thursday, sure why not.
I'll probably be SSing, but it would be fine on a bigger bike...some silliness available. Can tailor the route a little.
One small warning...may be overgrown sections. Scratches possible.

Hydro to Blackheath single track is virtually unrideable, due to plant growth/lack of use.
