How's this for a donk? Hitting the bush in the Victorian high country on Friday. I may have to get stringent with the packing as I've got to squeeze dinners into this somehow!

Next step (after fervent prayers for dry weather) is to start cutting weight and bulk.
The climbing I've set for myself will be fairly intense and after the quick shakedown ride I gave myself yesterday, I am expecting to have my jelly-legs splattered all over the high country. And that's before the rednecks in their 4WDs have their way with me.
Forecast shows thunderstorms up there so I'm going somewhere less exposed and closer to Melbourne. Silver lining is I'll leave Sunday AMTex are you going to miss the final?
Yeah for sure. I found a Tasmanian company called Strive who do that stuff. Hopefully it's reasonable... I say weight needs untying, and it does, but not at the expense of good food.Dehydrated meals, fo reelz. I use the Backcountry Cuisine ones they sell at BCF and Rays Outdoors etc. The bacon and eggs is rated.
I reckon I averaged about 3kmh faster with the group, mainly because I had to push myself a bit harder than I normally would. I'm all about cadence when I ride and try to keep it consistent, but today I had to accelerate more than normal. The big thing was how much more I had to concentrate as opposed to riding by myself which I almost do on auto pilot.
You need to think of riding in the group from the perspective of the guy behind you but aim to be predictive for any changes in speed or direction from in front of you. I find in a group ride you use your brakes heaps more regularly than if you are solo or in a pair.
We had 12 in a group on Thursday that averaged 34km/hr for a 36km ride. It was probably a bit dangerous as riders started dropping off or stalling on hills etc. Plus the traffic at the moment is not very patient with holidays approaching.
How do you get the bead-mat to stay on your saddle?Better rider but it makes your driving suffer. Bad tailgating / drive like a taxidriver
