Bilbys 5 Peaks Ride on 2004-03-15

I tried to talk people into doing Majura on the bitumen also, pleasant is not really a hill, more a bump, but they were not keen on the idea.

Fun was of course had.

1600x1200 Warwick following another Bilby down Black Mountain 1600x1200 I did not get the hang of taking the photos of people whizzing by, Warwick is quite blurry here (I am sure he will claim it was due to the high speed he was moving at :) 1600x1200 A shot of some more riders after passing me. 1600x1200 Susan enjoying the downhill. 1600x1200 Allan having a good climb up stromlo. 1600x1200 Garry showing what a fruity triathlete he is and climbing in the aero bars, I wonder if anyone has ever told him that is not a brilliant idea physiologically 1600x1200 Nina on stromlo, having fun on her new frame, a Aluminium and Carbon willier, a much nicer ride than her old frame. 1600x1200 Andrew Brown, didnt bother bringing his Camera today, doesnt matter we still got photos. 1600x1200 Christine on her way up the barren climb of stromlo. 1600x1200 Libby, Naomi, Zoe, someone else, and Morgs side on in the background 1600x1200 Another club member 1600x1200 Julia passing one of the residences on stromlo for observatory staff. 1600x1200 A group shot of everyone from a distance, we had a great turn out of around 45 people. 1600x1200 I wanted to get the group slightly closer so took three seperate shots, I could not be bothered stitching them together though. 1600x1200 Good to see Naomi is capable of sticking her tounge out for the photo.

1600x1200 The third panning shot. 1600x1200 Warwick on his way down stromlo. 1600x1200 Paul is also capable of sticking his tounge out for the photo 1600x1200 Alex leaning into the corner. 1600x1200 Cannondales are like as.... oh maybe I shouldnt say that learning from Mikey's lesson the other week. 1600x1200 Gary on his way into the frame next to someone on an Avanti (I think) 1600x1200 Christine followed by some others. 1600x1200 Paul Brodie riding a real bike. 1600x1200 Dave, ended up outclimbing everyone on every climb today 1600x1200 Susan still smiling just as much on the descent of Stromlo 1600x1200 Zoe on her way down Stromlo 1600x1200 Julia on her way into the corner. 1600x1200 Yet more bilbys on the way down Stromlo. 1600x1200 Another long distance group shot, this time at the top of red hill. 1600x1200 And from the front of the group, Morgs managed to stay upright on the road bike all morning, well done that man</tic>
