Tomorrow the Dirt Rat's and Kitten are heading out for a bit of Mountain Bike Madness from the Choice Petroleum on Sunvalley at 6:30am.
The planned ride will take the group through the Quarry loop, Wendy's Rays, Rock Stairs and Tom's Track. The Rat's had all their hard core dirt smashing today, so the ride WILL BE easier paced - unless of course you're trying to redeem yourself on a Strava section Mr Anderson.
We'll end up somewhere for a brew afterwards so bring a couple of dollars with you.

The Real Strava
According to SOME riders in the M1 Bunch - "If it's not on Strava, it didn't happen". Well ok then Mr Anderson - it's now ON Strava for all the world to see. Me beating you over the Quarry loop...... oh wait, it should be me THRASHING you on the Quarry loop - there you are all the way back in 6th place!
PS Mr Anderson - knowing how I ride a mountain bike, and knowing that you know how I ride a mountain bike due to your constant reminders about staying on the bike, I'd be embarrassed to be beaten by me on a MTB Strava section! Just saying.

The Cougar Two
I'll keep this short and sweet - Mr Anderson, the M1 bunch is big enough for only one Cougar Chaser. So please, PUT YOUR CLOTHES BACK ON!!!!!! Seriously!
Don't forget the Sunday rides tomorrow - MTB Dirty Rats leaving Choice Petroleum on Sunvalley at 5:00am, Sunday Roadie Rollers leaving the shop at 5:30am and the L Plate MTB ride leaving Choice Petroleum at 8:00am.
I do believe that there may also be an afternoon MTB ride heading out around 3:00pm tomorrow for those that struggle to get out of bed super early on a Sunday. More details to come - keep an eye on Facebook.

The Odyssey 2013
Kittstar, Hef, Big Fish and the Riddler (CONFIRMED) are about to embark on a southern sojourn to the Singletrack Mecca of Forrest, Victoria. 100 kilometres (or 60km) doesn't normally sound like much, but add in a few of the hills of the Otway Forest (about 2½ km of climbing, for the 100k) and things start hotting up pretty quickly.
Better have your climbing legs on!! And remember your race fuel, we don't want anyone 'bonking'.
With 2 weeks to go, entries currently stand at 1600. Entries are still open for anyone who can make the 'cut'. Field is limited to 2050 and entries close (if not full up) on Valentines Day.
There'll be live race updates from Live Results, for all riders so we will all be able to follow along on the day. And of course Twitter with the hashtag #konaodyssey. Anyone going to be in Forrest, on the day, to give us updates, take photos?

The Batman Ride
Well, well, well, it looks like this Saturday's ride is going to be one of Good v Evil with Batman (Zulu) and Robin (Blogmistress) teaming up on the tandem to take on the M1 City nasties aka single bikes...
From what I've heard, all the usual M1 City crooks will be riding:
- The Joker (Hef), does he really need any introduction??
- The Riddler (Mr Anderson), sorry Ando - but you do actually look and behave like the Riddler.
- Bain (LG), the pure grunt of the single bike pack.
- Catwoman (um, SpyCat of course), no explanation needed!
- The Penguin (The Pied Piper), there are some definite physical similarities here.....
- Mr Freeze (Snapper), beware of the frosty glaze of Mr Freeze.
- Poison Ivy (Skeeta), hmmm, gotta watch this one, she's fiesty.
Will Good overcome Evil on Saturday morning??? Will the tandem completely SMASH the single bikes??? Me thinks so!

The Post Halloween Ride
Ok, so Halloween may have been a few weeks ago..... but yesterday the Tantrum Throwers were at it again... smashing Pumpkins (aka single bikes) on the Saturday Smashfest. Some Pumpkins were that smashed on Sunday morning that they A) Drove to the ride (Mr Anderson), B) Didn't even turn up for the ride (The Pied Piper), C) Didn't do Mt Bindello (everyone that did turn up!) or D) Turned up Phillip St and took a short cut to the coffee shop (SpyCat).
Yes, Mr Anderson, I WILL pay for it when I get back onto my single bike - but I tell you what, I'm having the time of my life seeing you boys suffer!
Unfortunately, we didn't manage to average 38k/hr for the ride.... but at 33.5k/hr, I think the proof was in the pudding by the time we got to the Bakery.

The Snapped Snapper Ride
In breaking news from the ride this morning, the Snapper got Snapped in the paceline but none other than his better half Skeeter. There were no flatties or mechanicals involved - just sheer guts, strength, determination and awesomeness on Skeeter's part!!!!!!! And as always, everything you read on the blog is true!
Snapper did take revenge along Anderson Way, driving it on the front and splintering what was left of the bunch to pieces.
New rider Monty turned up for his third road ride this week and even felt compelled to join Captain Anderson and myself for another stroll over Haddock. I believe Andy may have even ventured out there as well??? Chris did an awesome job of controlling the bunch this morning in the absence of our beloved Hef.
If you didn't get a chance to get out this morning, Jordan is heading up the MTB ride that will leave from Choice petroleum at Sunvalley at 5:30pm.

The Yeah Yeah Ride
Ahh, how can you not love this face????? In the words of the King - I shall have my cake and eat it too! In fact, I shall eat as much as I can stuff in my face! Happy birthday to the Hef for tomorrow. Yeah yeah.
Good turn outs on both the Dirty Rat ride and the Yummy Mummy ride. Flats were also present in good numbers on both rides with three on the roadie ride and one on the MTB ride. Yeah yeah.
Right. Mrs Huth gets to spend the week in the naughty corner for jumping the start of the ride and getting to the coffee shop well before we even looked like arriving and Mr Anderson gets to spend the week in the naughty corner for smashing the birthday boy on the Dirty Rat ride - no chocolate milk for you either Mr Anderson! Yeah yeah.
And in the words of Zulu - "It would be nice if spring would stick around for a little longer than a week, it appears that we're into summer already". About time I say!!! Yeah yeah.
Caro - Yeah yeah!

The Love Is Ride
Ok you Mere Males in M1 Land, listen up. Remember the little cartoons "Love is.....", well this morning's ride was a clear indication that Hef, Snapper and Mr Anderson all need to be reaquainted with the Love is theory. Let me explain....
Mr Anderson. Love is NOT.... 'deliberately stalking down your wife on Haddock Drive and passing her 10 metres before the top'.
Snapper. Love is NOT.... 'catching your wife just before the railway line with about 500m to go before the coffee shoop'.
And Hef. Love is DEFINATELY NOT..... 'sprinting against your wife as you come into the final corner 100m before the coffee shop to take victory for the boys'.
It's probably a good thing that LG wasn't on the ride this morning as I'm sure he would have been influenced by the other Mere Males in the pack!
And "Enforcer", you took Kitty Soft Paw Ride to a new low this morning when you turned on Jim Whyte and missed Haddock altogether. Tsk Tsk.

The Yawning Ride
Whilst the boys were busily yawning at the start of the ride this morning, the girls took advantage and totally owned the road!

The New Toy
Ahhhh, it doesn't take long for that bug to bite, and it sure bit Mr Anderson good with a new EX9. Please tell me though Mr Anderson that you did get Mountain Bike shoes to go with the EX? It's not going to be a good look to ride the EX with your tennis shoes on!
The Sunday One
Ok, so it's Tuesday and I'm only posting about Sunday, but it's all good - gotta treat ya'all mean to keep ya'all keen!
