Forecast is good for tomorrow. :) Let's ride!!
I'll be at the Goodwill bridge this afternoon (Friday) at 5pm for a few minutes if someone wants to meet before our ride tomorrow. :)

How does everyone feel about moving this ride to SATURDAY THE 20th? There is a storm forecasted for tomorrow early morning? The road up there might be a bit full of debris...
Hamdi Al-Ansari
I think it is good idea. I checked the weather too and it looks like going to be a storm.
Matthew Oliver
Love to tag along for at least the first part Andres. I have a patients booked from 8am so I won't make the top of Nebo but will be nice to go part way.
Andres Pacheco
Ok so this is the plan...
1. Remember to read the description of the ride.
2. I'm going to be on the Goodwill bridge on FRIDAY 5:30pm if you want to meet before the ride ON SATURDAY morning. Otherwise just rock up on Saturday.
3. Let's try to leave the latest 6:05am.
4. I'll keep an eye on the weather. But I'll only cancel it if there is a storm. (a little rain is good for the rider and for the bike :))
5. We'll stick together as a group until we get to the GAP, then stick to you own climbing speed. We will regroup at the Mt. Nebo Caffe. You will see it.
6. the route is really simple, no need for a map.
7. safety first and use proper riding signals. Stick to single line. Let's be considerate and mindful to the boring car drivers.
8. the most important thing... let's have fun and enjoy the ride.

Hi Andres
I am sorry can't make it on the Friday. Which side of the bridge are we meeting? Can we meet at the cafe on the bridge? I'll be for 5:30a.m. start. The earlier the better :).
Looking forward to it :)
Cheers

Andres Pacheco
200k?? I've done 93k max and I was destroyed lol. See how you feel but it would be good to see you on the ride.
James Penny

James Penny

Andres Pacheco
Did This ride on the weekend. I have a pretty good idea of the route but I'll do it again mid September just to make sure we avoid 2 magpies that attacked me lol
Hamdi Al-Ansari
Looking forward to the ride with everyone. It will be my first time :) to do Mt Nebo :)
Andres Pacheco
Changed the date to the 6th, the 14th is Brisbane to GC which I'm doing too. So it would be good training. :)
