Brisbane Blasters Ride
Postby foo on patrol » Sun Dec 22, 2013 1:12 pm
These are a bunch of blokes and sometimes girls that have been on their bikes all the time and some of them I raced with. But me having been off my bike at one point for 30yrs and only riding twice a week if I am able to put be at a biiiiiig disadvantage for staying with any group rides I do.
This was todays ride and it hurt like hell but you know what, I still enjoyed it and that is what this sport/past time is all about.

And yes, the Blasters race squad grew out of the Toowong Library rides back in the late 80's/early 90's, the Blasters then begat the FFAST club (due to QCF regulations) - I still have my original FFAST team kit, it was just a pair of standard Axo knicks and an Axo jersey with "FFAST" screen printed on it. I'm a looong way from fitting into that...

Weather moderate enough to enjoy the important things in life, like bike riding, coffee and Red wine.

This year I struggled with staying with them on the hills from South Bank to Nudgee. After the Gateway climb I had to do a 5klm TT to get back on and when we arrived at Nudgee Beach, I notice the bike didn't want to roll freely. WTH? On closer inspection, I spot the rear brake was jammed hard against one side. Doh! Much easier to keep up after that little fix. Bloody idiot!
