    This afternoon Ride to Omaha

    Hey yall.

    To Celebrate this mornings passing of the test (6R!) I'm going for a ride up north, to Little Omaha Bay.

    http://www.quikmaps.com/full/45899 for a look at the route, subject to change.

    Starting from St Heliers Bay at 4.15ish,
    Going Via Albany to pickup Raj and oggle his new bike.

    Come for a ride, the weather is nice!

    Yay for the 6R!

    I would be tempted to come for a ride but leaving at 4:15... what time would you be getting back? might be a little late for me
    There is no such thing as bad weather; only inappropriate clothing!

    Its about 65k to walkworth up the motorway.

    We going the long way round, and further out than walkworth.

    Probably going to be ~200k round trip.

    I got a spare $5. I'm sure Raj does too. That gives you $10. I'm sure you can make this trip on $10 of gas

    U'll have no problems there mate. I've slowed down heaps. (I didn't think that was actually possible !)... but na really ride ur own ride eh no point takin a corner as fast as me coz my bike is set up differently to urs as you can appretiate. Plus I have a fair few years more ridin experience than you.. lets have a good time... no silly offs.
