MadameBike commented on Neil Alexander's status"And they are not even promising to transfer the $8 million (Nigerian) that your long lost uncle bequeathed to you. I only give those sort of details to someone promising to transfer money to my account. :-)"
MadameBike replied to Andrew K's discussion Public Transport - and the potential impact on cycling"OK point taken. Having grown up in Newcastle, the only train travelling that I did was to and from Sydney. Good on those who are using it for commuting. Now "the developers" are going to scrap the line between Wickham…"
MadameBike replied to Andrew K's discussion Public Transport - and the potential impact on cycling"Martin, I don't think you can count the populations of Newcastle, Blue Mountains, Wollongong etc. in those stats as they are only served by a single line to Sydney CBD - you can't actually move about Newcastle, Wollongong or the Blue…"
MadameBike commented on Dabba's blog post Where in the world is my bike?"So that's where it is. Last time I was there there were still rail lines and sleepers on the ground. I used to ride my horse through that tunnel when I lived at Stockrington. Was OK except when trail bike rides roared through…"
MadameBike replied to Andrew K's discussion Public Transport - and the potential impact on cycling"Colin - what is the scale of that map? The problem with CityRail as I see it, compared to other countries, is the sheer size of the Sydney Basin - about the same area as the whole of Denmark - but with fewer people paying tax."
MadameBike replied to Andrew K's discussion Public Transport - and the potential impact on cycling"Martyn,
The Opal fares are free after the first 8 trips in a single week so if it is $56 for 8 trips, then it will still be $56 for 10 trips or 12 etc which makes it cheaper and would provide an incentive for people to use it more IMO.
I pay $400…"
MadameBike replied to Michael O'Reilly's discussion Tell Mike O' where to go"EMT - great and inspiring report - thanks. BTW, your advice would be welcome here as my Baum order has moved right up the waiting line and I need to make some decisions fairly quickly. What size tyres would you recommend? and…"

The Day of the Audax Ride 2012
Posted on February 3, 2012 at 8:22pm 7 Comments 2 Likes
Every day of the eight days we spent in Bright prior to the Audax ride, the temperatures soared over thirty degrees. The day of The Ride was no different with a predicted maximum of 36 degrees. As the wimp of the group, I chose to enter the 70km ride which was simply Bright to the top of Mt Buffalo and return. That meant that the ascent of Buffalo was done in the cool of the morning, with the mist still rising from the valley below.........…

OK, Neil wants me to write stuff about my recent adventure in the Victorian High Country. The written word does not come as easily to me as it does to Neil and others, so I am warming up with a couple of WITWIMB guessing games.
Those who were there (Neil, Mr O', Matt_C, EMT,...?) please excuse yourselves from these.......... Here is the first photo....…
