Robert Van Oss 300km Around the BayHi,
Too lazy to ride but I have volunteered to drive the Sag wagon from Albert Park to Sorrento – hope I don’t have to pick up any ARC’ers.
PS They still need plenty of spots filled wth volunteers to make this day successful – see link below

A post from Brad on other site for this year’s edition of around the bay.
Meet at the Duckpond/Darling Station around 4:40am (3:40am old time!!)and planning to roll out at 4:45am.
Will head along Wattletree Rd through to Fitzroy and Beach Rd. Up to Port Melbourne
where we will cut through to the bottom of the Westgate bridge arriving there at
around 5:30am (we are not planning to go to the start line).
Assuming no raging headwinds then the timing will be something like:
300km Ride
Location
Time
Depart Dux
4:45am
Westgate Bridge
5:35am
Altona
6:15am
Geelong
8:00am, 10 min stop
Queenscliff
9:20am
Sorrento
10:20am (if we get 9:40am ferry)
Dromana
11:05am (good luck 300km’ers)
Flinders
12:45pm, 10 min stop
Safety Beach
2:15pm
Mornington
2:55pm
Frankston
3:20pm, 10 min stop
Mordialloc
4:10pm
Blackrock
4:30pm
Finish
5:15pm
210km Variant:
As per 300km ride but after Dromana it goes:
Mornington: 11:50am
Frankston: 12:15pm, 10 min stop
Mordialloc: 1:05pm
Blackrock: 1:25pm
Finish: 2:10pm
Add 1 hour and 20km if you add Arthurs Seat and return via Red Hill
The above is at an average moving speed of 26.5km/hr.
Add three hours for the 300km team after Dromana, 3.5 hours if we can be bothered to do Point Nepean.
If we miss the 9:40am ferry and end up on the 10:00am Ferry, which is not unlikely, then of course add 20 minutes.
Next ferry after 10am is 11am!!
Other Bits:
Last minute checks on tyres, chains, gear cables, food, 2 x tubes and we are good to go.
Dress is formal (i.e. ARC) except for those who wish to display their 300km prowess.
Foodwise we will burn through around 19,000kJ on the 250km ride, another 2500kJ
for the 300km team.
Breakfast is around 3500kJ, lunch would be around 4000kJ so say 8,000kJ rounding up.
So 11,000kJ to consume. As a cross check 1kg of body fat is around 32,000kJ – so a great
chance to lose some weight. In practice though you will hit the wall first so you will need to eat around 5000kJ – 8000kJ.
So, what does this look like?
Winners protein bar = 800kJ
Energy gel = 500kJ
Banana = 400kJ
1 Allan’s Snake = 175kJ
Good luck everyone and see you on the day, Brad.

Robert Van Oss 300km Around the BayHi Rob,
I think Matt Douglas is also down for the 210km with a view to following us up Arthur’s seat and beyond if the weather is ok.
cheers, Brad
All is looking good for the morning. Planning to leave the Duckpond at 4:45am (at least the clocks went forward last weekend).
See you in the morning.
I’m starting at the official start point, so hopefully I catch up by Queenscliff. Weather forecast looking great and favorable for the home stretch.
No problems Richard. The quickest way there from the Dux is straight along High st which takes you to Albert Park. Cross over the pedestrian crossing and then cycle clockwise towards the start. I went this way this morning.
see you along the way.Also Greg plans to meet us at Sorento while Neal and Frank will meet us at the Blackbird cafe in Mornington to tow us home.
