31.45 mi in 01:48:00 hours at 17.47 mi/h on Sinner Mango Sport Red Edition. [Cycling] Mango#22-quick ride to see VeloRossi in Geetown, traffic lights arrrggghhhhh !!!!!!

Thought I'd go and see Rossi and get a cuppa......damn traffic lights slowed me down on the way in/out of Belmont. Riding in the dusk/darkness for the first time in the Mango was fun.... Need to track down some funny noises, or could it just be the crappy Victorian roads ?

91.70 mi in 05:09:00 hours at 17.80 mi/h on Sinner Mango Sport Red Edition. [Cycling] Mango#21-Blackgate Saunter with VeloRossi & JP-30kph NW'ly

A big day.....I did this Audax event last year on the Vortex and it was fun so thought I'd have a go again this year in the Mango....it's been 5 weeks since surgery so I have been told to put no strain on my back so spinning was the order of the day and no stomping on hills :-( I also had to ride to and from the event so that added an extra 47km on top of the 100 for the event (and the bigish hills in Juc). Good start at 9am (the 150km group started at 8am, the 50km group at 8.45am) and it soon turned out to be a bit of a dash at the start and was flying.....then got into a steady rhythm....JP & VeloRossi had had their Weetbix they were flying too...... First CP at 32km at Moriac, and he had a lazy coffee......then an almost sprint back for lunch - 20km back to the start for excellent pumpkin soup, bread, fruit..... Then the squirt to Ocean Grove......25km each way.....great views and surf at The Dunes in Ocean Grove......we had another lazy coffee...... The return to the finish/start was banging into a 30kph NW'ly so we were all feeling it......JP dropped right back but munched some gels and came charging back at the end and caught me......VeloRossi was only a minute behind us..... Toasted cheese & ham sandwiches at the end and tea !! Then had to ride home with a big sidewind and headwind at the end..... Lots of people interested in the Mango (as always).....and feel ok, back a little stiff, tomorrow will tell !!

Tue, Apr 9, 2013 - 22.62 mi [Cycling] Details
22.62 mi in 01:22:00 hours at 16.55 mi/h on ICE Vortex FS. [Cycling] Vortex#65- Belmont Crit track with VeloRossi-cruising

Just cruising......testing the new Osymetric 56 tooth big ring.....fitted yesterday thanks to Rossi, initially feels 'odd' - almost like the pedal is accelerating off your foot.....then after no time at all it becomes very smooth....I noticed going up the road (my house is on a 6% hill) it was easier in the same gear on a bigger 56 tooth Osymetric ring than it was on a 53 tooth round ring.....we had to move the FD up a bit and adjust the shifter cable....

Shifting from middle ring (round) to big ring is interesting, bit messy and you really have to back off the rpms and take it easy.......dropping from big to middle is fine......the middle ring feels like it has a massive dead spot now, almost like your put stops at the dead spot..... It also feels like a lower cadence on the Osymetric ring for the same actual cadence compared to the round rings....?

I will get a 42 tooth middle ring......now I will have to change all my bikes, bugger !!
