Noosa Strada Bianchi 8th & 9th August 2015
Postby duds2u » Tue Jun 23, 2015 9:14 pm
It's Gran Fondo in the vein of the famous LÉroica. The rules to enter are simple, a steel framed bike with down tube shifters and the expectation of enjoying the company of like minded riders as you experience the mix of tarmac and dirt roads though the beautiful Noosa hinterland.
Last year we had well over 200 riders participate in the Picolo (35kk on Saturday), the Medio (85K) and the Gran Fondo (130K) on Sunday. All the rides commence at the Noosa Marina. After the Picolo on Saturday there is the Show and Shine and swap meet where you will see an amazing array of steel bikes from the just found in the tip to exquisitely rebuilt treasures. Did I forget to mention there will be a Meet and Greet on Friday night for registration and a dinner on Saturday night in preparation for Sundays rides.

If anyone's keen, i'm doing a ride this sunday which goes over some of the NSB roads. The route map doesn't include detours to the Black Mountain and Mt Wolvi lookouts, so it will actually be up over 190kms, but there's plenty of bailout points. 7am at Kin Kin.

I did nothing special Foo. Got out of a chair in the Smoko room at work and the lower back just went. I think the problem was the really cold morning. We had frost on the ground at my place when I left at 0440, and I pushed a bigger gear up the hills to make up for my lack of hill efforts of late. When I got to work I stupidly sat down straight away and I think that was my undoing.foo on patrol wrote:What's it doing, Scott?
Foo
It is getting better but it's not great. I'm going to hit up Campbell's Pocket road tomorrow and see how it goes.

Scott, Hope the back settles for you in time so you can enjoy the ride.

And this gives a good idea of the sorts of numbers turning up now. Hard to believe it started with 16 only a few years ago.

Just on the Strade facebook page, along with quite a few hundred others. At least you've got your race face on .singlespeedscott wrote:Hey Lachlan where did you find the photo?
