I did my last long distance training session last weekend. My team rode from Castle Hill to Springwood and back. I needed some big hill practice. Held a good 33km average so I was happy with that. Kept up with the rest of the team on racers, so my preperation is all done. I will ride to work and back a few more times before the day but I should be ready to do some damage on the day.

Wow - what a day! absolute pearler.

Got to sleep around 11pm, woke up at 4am chucked the bike in the back of the truck, picked my mate up, drove to Olympic Park, caught a train to North Sydney and met up with some other mates.

Started North Sydney Oval, and rode the North Sydney route back to Olympic Park.

55km in total. Including the ride from the traino to the start line and the extra lap we did at OP.

i did the pring cycle yesterday. The whether was fantastic. Its my first time i've ever done something like this and i enjoyed it so much.

I woke up at about 630. Rode to blacktown softball centre and then started at about 730. Did the 45kms in 2 and a half hours and i was just crusing along.

Caught the train to blacktown station and then rode home to woodcroft from there. I'm not even sore today which im very happy about

I can deal with teh rain - thank fark there are going ot be northerlys coming through! I'll need that boost up the hills.

It was an ok ride, spent 40 min at the start line before we got off the mark, and the first 30-45 min was at super slow pace. Total ride time was about 4hr 10min with 50-60 min break at Stanwell tops due to an accident which stopped the course. We lost my mates dad, his bike was unridable after a low speed crash.

My mates on their racers just missed the 3hr mark with 3.05 without stops, I was 3 min behind with 3.08, the 1hr stop distroyed my legs and the last 10km really hurt.

Thanks everyone!

Yeah first bit was super slow as it was to congested to even ride.

Half our group (guys on racers) took off around the pack and cut back in where everyone started riding.

We cruised along and took around 4.5hrs (not including about 30mins of stops).

Great weather for the ride, with a slight NE breeze.

Had a great day and will definately be returning with Amanda's Team again next year. The support was awesome from you all and greatly appreciated!

Nothing major in our team with only one guy getting a flat.

THANKS SO MUCH!

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..   
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
