Early August Update

Hi all, 

With Wednesday a day off for a lot of people the Grinders headed out to the Dam for an easy spin. Great to see Tennille come along for a spin as well, I'm pretty sure it was a very beneficial ride with her big chainring issue fixed :-) The usual shenanigans took place on the return trip with the Dodgy Doc starting the rot and the Fox only too happy to take over. Great ride. 

Garry must have had a bad day at work yesterday as the pace on the Roll last night was solid from the start of the ride. A theory is Garry needs to keep a higher rolling speed so he can keep the big chainring turning over.... Once Garry was off the front it appeared all would return to normal, not so with 'ol Silver and young Brendan cracking the whip until they copped a spray from behind reminding them it was the Thursday Roll. Brad did well to dig deep and get back on and finish off with the bunch, well done Brad you showed some real determination. The speeding demons received some calibration from the shortest person in the bunch at the end of the ride, quite funny to watch lol.

 


Dam ride tomorrow leaving at 6:30am from the Tannum Coffee Club.

Sunday Ride 7am from Surf Club. 

Don't forget next weekend's ride to Many Peaks Pub for a 12 noon lunch. Get there any way you like but some of us are leaving Futter Creek in the Boyne Valley at 10am. For those camping at Futter creek, we'll be kicking back starting with nibblies and drinks around the fire once back from the lunch ride.   

Also the Gran Fondo is only 4 weeks away now!
