Hi Keith, my name is Rose and I am a possible new Pickled Pedaller member :-) I will definitely be doing the Flyer and can't wait until the 31st as I will be riding my lovely new Pinarello ROKH in her very first event!

Hi There Same here Hav'nt done it before so it will be all new to me as I started cycling about 18 months go and not yet brave enough to join the PP rides I have done the Pokeno ride this past weekend and am looking forward to this challenge as well

Keith

Can't understand why you think you're "not brave enough to join the PP rides", Keith - we don't bite and we're not training to do the Tour de France!!

We're all about getting out and getting some exercise and enjoying each other's company... And telling lies over coffee afterwards...

(Some of us however seem to have a difficulty in getting out of bed in the mornings )

Hi Keith and Rose

Myself and Mark (Murdoch) are planing to do the 100K Flyer. We haven't entered yet, but will be doing in the next few days, to avoid the late payment penalty.

We both usually ride on Sunday, so we may catch up with you there.

Having problems getting up in the morning ..........go to bed with a full bladder

Nah! That's just a major cause of damp bedsheets...

Haha Crash! I must admit to NOT being a morning person!! I'm coming down from Gulf Harbour so have to leave way earlier than you all too for the weekend early rides! Will see how keen I am this weekend I guess haha.

Don't go to bed, then you wont have to get up early cause your all ready up!
This method avoids damp bed sheets Coach

Do you guys doing the Flyer all wear your PP kit? If so I will keep a look out for you and introduce myself! Only 12 days to go yay! I did a 78k ride on Sat from Gulf Harbour out to the rock (Helensville/Kaukapakapa turnoff) at the respectable hour of 10am ;-) Good ride out with tail wind but a slog going back into a nasty head wind!

If you're keen Pinarello Girl: http://www.pickledpedallers.co.nz/forum/...php?tid=79

I'm home most nights (not this weekend - will be in Blenheim for the Graperide) if you want to try any kit on....

Hi All
Got my entry confirmation today and looking forward to it

I was thinking of getting a vest at some stage but see you don't have any at the moment! The Womens shirts are all too big, I'm small or medium size depending on how large the sizes run.

Good luck guys, Have fun and ride safe. Let us know how you all get on.

Hopefully there may be a couple of sub 3.00.01 this year

I have a top you can borrow. You are welcome to try it.
Best of luck to all that are doing it.

Ok guys how about a race report.......times etc

Hi There I think I had a good ride being my first 100k ride. My butt telling me otherwise. Previous distance being 70km a few weeks ago. Weather was great and my mat time was 3hrs41m

Well Done Keith you did do a good time ! Don't worry about your butt ,put it behind you now time to start working on Taupo ,you can do it it's only 160km................

My time for the Flyer was 3hrs 17mins 31 secs, pretty pleased with that considering I got the worst cramp I have ever had on the bike before at the 80km mark!!

Well done Pinarello Flyer

Thanks Crash
