Rob replied to Samuel Russell's discussion Did you ride your bike today? (2013-04-03)"Normally I would ride and was all ready to do so, but the rain was torrential In Ermington this morning. The sensible side got the better of me... So here I am on the world's slowest bus to the city and traffic completely jammed up. The thought…"
Rob replied to PeterT's discussion Pushing it during a commute... or not?"where do you commute from Peter?
Sounds very similar to my Oatlands to Pitt St Syd commute..
Yes, driving is very unpredictable, Fastest was on school hols 40mins and slowest 2hr15, avg being 1hr45
So in fact cycling is quicker

Rob replied to PeterT's discussion Pushing it during a commute... or not?"I agree, for me I am all about safety
I look at some of the risk taking going on and think, I hope you don't have a family waiting for you at home.
It would be more frustrating nursing broken bones and unable to ride, than take that extra…"
Rob replied to PeterT's discussion Pushing it during a commute... or not?"My commute is 28kms, so it depends on how many trips I am doing that week.
I think my ride time depends on my bike, on my energy levels, light levels, temps etc...
An easier ride vs going hard is about 10 minutes... 19km/h avg vs 24km/h avg…"

They are all jumping on bikes these days and bringing over their bad habits.

Llewster replied to Rob's discussion Got cut off by a cyclist!!"I used to go down King in the right lane - then go down Castlereigh and Park to get to College - but the road down the right is all bumpy now after it being dug up and filled back in. So I just take my time up the right side usually with a lots of…"
Bob Moore replied to Rob's discussion Got cut off by a cyclist!!"Kent gets a little hairy approaching Elizabeth St because of left turners cutting you off and the hill slowing you down. Better in the right lane or maybe middle?

Alan said… - Hi Rob. Didn't recognise you from the photo (of bikes) :)
Been on any good rides recently?
I'm in Cairo right now. Not cycling, but pyramid hunting :)

- Yes Rob, I'm happy to BikeBuddy your cousin one day soon. Pls ask him to call/email me so we can setup a date.
BN do have one ride out to Windsor (West to Windsor), but don't usually run it in the summer/warmer months. I've been on this once, but can't remember using the T-way.
I'll probably do Pie in the Sky on 12th, but ride up from Eastwood beforehand (depending upon my mood). You plan to join any BN rides soon?
Don't forget the Tour de Hills is coming up soon too (2nd March) and Loop the Lake (9th March). So much to do and so little time! :)

Well, not really
For those in Canberra are so spoilt for choice with MTBing... endless single track!

- Hi Rob. Sorry i haven't responded earlier.
Yes, I've riden both along the Windsor Rd on-road path and the off-road path on different occassions. This Sunday there is a West to Windsor ride which I think uses the on-road path. I'm thinking of doing this one :)
