Road my bike to the Gold Coast Yesterday

[mtbrider]

Road my bike to the Gold Coast yesterday. Joined in with 3999 other riders and pedaled to Southport yesterday. Total 102k's average speed 33kph, Time three hours (40.8 k's per litre - I drank 2.5 litres of water) Max speed 60.9 kph.

This was on the Velo 1 which crosses under the M1 a couple of times and snakes it way beside the M1 most of the way down to the Coast. A really nice ride and can be recommended.

Including the ride to the ride ended up doing 112 kilometres before 9AM. Finished with a nice barbie bacon, eggs tomato on the Southport Spit.

Damn i wish i had a better bike, would have loved to go on a ride like that.

I rode 63km the other day on my mountain bike, my best so far. Ive only just started going for longer rides.

... yeah ok my mistake... 1 + 3999 would be 4000... but what was the occasion?

[oodee]

apparently two of my friends did it too... i told them they were mad :D

[mtbrider]

It was organised by Bicycle Queensland for Diabetes Australia. Sort of a mini Round the Bay in a Day which is for Victorians or Sydney to the Gong for Sydney siders.

A lot of people actually rode home - now they were mad.
