The commented on his own time: "Someone remind me why I am doing the 160km TDU please"

The commented on his own time: "Ended up going up to Mt Lofty and back via Montacute. Got stung by a frickin' bee on the descent."

The commented on Jason Berry's time: "You're gonna have to wait for me at the top tomorrow. No way I can do a mid 21 min climb at the moment. Looking forward to the ride though."

The commented on his own time: "First ride back after a long time off the saddle. Took it pretty easy."

The commented on Matthew Lohmann's time: "I'd put that down to the new wheels, not a perceived improvement in cycling ability!"

Funny chain of photos at the below link: http://www.epsomrdstudios.com.au/index.php?cPath=7546_7557_7559&sort=3a&page=2 Keep your eyes on the road not on the devil lady!

[quote=Robert Rau] next is the Coast 2 Coast - whos comin?[/quote] I'd love to do the Coast to Coast - in fact I've do it the last 5 or 6 years (not including the one that was abandoned due to heat). However the missus is due on the 5th of March and chances are I'm not going to get a ticket to go off on an all day ride. She'll probably use a guilt trip like "What's more important to you, cycling or your first born?".

[quote=Michael Warner] It's really not a good idea to lose that much of your body's water on a ride - you can end up dead or with permanent renal failure. Putting on these long mass rides for unfit, unprepared people in the height of summer is not just dumb, it's dangerous IMHO. Leave it to the pros..[/quote] It was a bit tongue in cheek, but you are right. At the same time though - you gotta die of something. Cycling ain't a bad way to go :P

I don't know what you're on about. I thought it was a piece of cake personally! Just kidding. I've written somewhat of a sob story here: .au/forum/topic134-2010-challenge-tour.aspx?Page=3#post1641 However I do remember at one point between Milang and Goolwa, as I was grinding away at 11 km/hr on the flat, to run through each body part to see how it was faring: - neck -> stiff as a board and couldn't move it back to horizontal eye level - shoulders -> severe pain - triceps -> agony - lower back -> seizing up boarding on excruciating and severely sunburnt due to an apparent gap between the bottom of the jersey and the top of my bike shorts - left leg -> quad would cramp when I straightened it and the hammy would cramp when I closed it (agonizing) - hands -> both palms completely blistered - hind quarters -> felt like I had become one with the bike (not in a good way) - front quarters -> fortunately numbed the pain out - balls of feet -> each pedal made them want to commit suicide After I gave up at the 151.5km mark I couldn't eat or drink for approximately 3 hours for fear of quickly and violently revisiting whatever I had just swallowed, vowed never to get back on the bike again (I do that after every ride) but right now I am actually looking forward to the next ride. Still can't walk properly today - my left leg feels like it's been punched 10,000 times just above the knee on the left side. But bloody loved the ride. To all my fellow friends who were left shattered and exposed on the side of the road with their bike flung carelessly as they desperately tried to find a nice piece of gravel to die in, BUCK UP there is always next year!

[quote=david holden] Yeah, and RLC organised a much less windy day. The last 30 km's were a sod.[/quote] Agreed. The Cheez was blitzing the field until the 90 degree turn at the lake a few kms out from Milang. What really did The Cheez was the 15+ kms straight road directly into a gale. Made it to the canoe tree before the body shutdown and unfortunately a call for a pick up had to be made. The left leg is still extremely sore from the constant cramping that I had for the last 40-50 kms. Shattered that I was told to get off the road to let the tour riders go through - used the break to lie down and I heard a cop ask a fellow cop as they rode past on a motorbike "Was that guy alive?". Anyhow, lesson learned - two Old Norton Summit training rides aren't enough for a 160km ride. 151.5 kms ain't too bad though. On the positive side I dropped 5 kilos in ~8 hours. Sign me up for next year. <em>edited by The Cheez on 23/01/2010</em>
