The Bacon Ride on 2003-08-02

We had some interstate visitors come down to Canberra for a lap of the 24 hour course today. Wayne who we knew was coming, and Tyno and some other guy who may or may not be named Matt that Mikey had been keeping as a surprise.

Mikey, Jim and myself rode out from Dickson pool and met up with the others at the Kowen road parking point, the rest can be seen in the photos below. (Coffee and food was had poist bacon iat Corniacopia Bakery in Braddon)

A corner, in an ST later in the course, I was too slow trying to photograph whoever went past.

Jim passing the corner, think yourself lucky the photo is blurry, those tights are getting scarier by the day.

Tyno entering the corner, probably still wondering if this is a corner with a working berm or a dud berm.

Heidi and Roy, that backpack Heidi is wearing alsmost seems bigger than her, she was probably carrying bricks just so the rest of us could keep up too.

That mystery bloke in sharp focus, maybe someone will recognise him...
