To lunch or not to lunch

    A week-day ride to Wollombi for lunch has been mooted.

    The first week in August has been suggested. That would be Aug 1
    through to Aug 5.

    Time to get a bit of an idea who might be lunching and which options
    and dates might suit them:

    Option 1: Meet for lunch at Wollombi.

    Option 2: Meet at McGraths Hill and group ride to Wollombi for lunch.
    Please indicate Putty or Wiseman's preference.

    Option 3: Blue Mountains riders meet at Hazelbrook shops parking lot
    and ride to McGraths Hill (if there are any Spartans there), and then
    on to Wollombi. Please indicate Putty or Wiseman's rout preference.

    This should give you enough time to plan your sickies.

    My preference is Option 3, any day of that week, conditional upon the
    weather forcast predicting no rain en route and winds being
    sub-cyclonic.

    I'll be wearing my pink velour jumpsuit.

    I reserve the right be be bullshitting about at least one item in this
    message.

    It's silk, not velour?

    I am a definite maybe for option 3. I would be using the outfit, and
    might not be able to keep up with the road bikes, but no matter.
    For me it is all dependent on health issues, but I think it should be
    OK.

    Would you believe fishnet stocking?
    Get over your sense of indispensability, loyalty, or whatever, and
    take the time-honoured sickie. :)

    Hope all goes well for you, George. If you do decide to come, I'll
    ride with you. Sort of. It'll amount to abandoning you in the bends
    but letting you cach up on the straights. :)

    It's such a shame to waste sickies when you're sick, though.

    You'll be able to keep up Gerry - that outfit's not /that/ fast through
    the corners :)

    What's worse is when you *are* sick, with no sickies left.

    Hehe
    Just got back.
    Nice ride, and to cap it off the saddlebags fell off 100yds from the home
    parking spot. (On the way home, that is)

    Actuallly it's not that fast on the straights either - about 120 is
    the absolute limit. Having said that, I've re-jetted the carbs and am
    hoping for an improvement - we'll see after I have a test run when the
    Blue Mountains weather and SWMBO permit.

    Clearly a warning from 'above' that you should NOT be absent from our
    ride. ;-)

    Fingers crossed for you. And let's not forget the weather. I'm
    brushing up on my sun dancing.

    But you're forgetting the holidays you had as sickies. You're not
    wasting anything, you're merely trading. And in an environment where
    sickes are non-cumulative, it is, in my book, smart trading.

    But, TEHO.
