BUPA - Around the Bay Oct2011.wmv

Thousands enjoyed the great entertainment and fun atmosphere at Bupa Around the Bay Festival at the Alexandra Gardens on the weekend. The festival culminated in the Bupa Around the Bay ride on Sunday, with fine weather and a huge turnout. We have uploaded clips of the Melbourne starts to the 250km, 210km, 100km and 50km events, and the Sorrento 100km event, to YouTube

The Metaphysic High racer was ridden 140 kms from Geelong to Melbourne, via Queenscliff and Sorrento. Gearing is 33/52-11/28. Wheels Fulcrum racing 3 Two Way fit with Hutchinson Fusion 3 tubeless tyres. Bike weight approx 11 kg. Rider age 68. Music from http://www.last.fm/music/+free-music-downloads/flamenco?page=2.
Garmin Edge computer played up as they do! Average speed Geelong/Queenscliff approximately 30 kph moving average until Q/C then 26 at ferry. Overall average estimated at 25 kph. Garmin 500 kept bump resetting so in the end I gave up and rode with no computer. Official time is way out as I stopped to fix a seat bracket problem.
