Get the monkey off my back ...
Soooo ... its been a good 2 years since I bonked on Andos ... even after eating all mog's snakes ... and now we've gotten knapsack approved 
... its time to get it off my back.
Yep, thats right ... I haven't been riding up there because of Knapsack ... not because I had a fear of all those fracking hill climbs ... that feeling of ... holy crapola another fracking section of climbing, after you grind past the last switch back, which you stupidly, even optimistically and delusionally thought was the last one ... which was kinda stupid given it was only the first one ... [insert pic of nerf on the ground] meh
Anywho, early planning for a pedalfest ... and this time, I'm training for it ... going to bed early for it ... might even have breakfast before it ... not try and race geoff up to the gate.
So tentative plan is for the weekend of the 28th April ... although it might move into May.
Show hands if your interested ... I'll need some shirpa like assistance to lug the oxygen tanks, defib, and maybe me + rig so more the merrier.
Also ... need to tick off or revisit
i) Lazo
ii) Mt York
iii) Rydal
iv) Mt Bowden or whateva
v) scrib (probably next up)
vi) and some of this woodford dam thing I keep hearing martin talking about. I'd like to see what was won from the SCA.

You know I have only done Ando's once since then with the big hill (and I hate the bloody ride). I might come along... 28th would be better than May for me.
Need to do Rydal too.
I'm in. I always love walking up that hill from Bedford creek.
Sounds good Al, we have that photo of you somewhere floating about, funny days, to think Ahn was riding single speed that day, memory is foggy but i think he was there, yep, it was Mog, myself, yourself, ahn, mark with the Yeti, Jeff and i think there might even have been Spanky( scott )??, cant remember who else, memory is very foggy, but i have been sick as and need to get out riding!!!
Lazo is a good ride now, also the terrace falls side, good day out there, and Mt York / cox's, now that is fun!
Anh was on the SS street rig thingy with seat slammed ... and watching him out pedal me up hills was just too much for my fragile mind
. I'll put up a calendar item for the 28th and see how we go.
