notes:
Riders gather as usual despite confusion of multiple comms platforms to be welcomed by the first lady 🙂
Doog returns after wheel repair heroics & Shaun’s whyte returns in taut re-bearinged form!
alas the pool night (& Bernard) are nowhere to be seen :-

A crazy route plan emerges – and tea rooms are reached by various routes (time for a cheeky chazza if you’re quick)
10 speed chain debate re-ignited after Dan curses the evening by commenting on modern bike reliability.
Its cold up there and we are treated to the first flakes of winter snow
The new classic is wetter and boggier than a wet boggy thing, but oh for a long summer ride across it!!!

Time beats us and its road all the way to El Puds new local, where a table for 9 is conjured up despite the heaving throng.
Seafood linguini is the new pie, Cheapest beer in town, tales of urban riding, plans for macpac to coast, will G go orange? (maybe if its a 29er!)
Slim & Stunt count the cost of being good!
