Best Vid yet Ben, love a bit of positivity in dark situations. I signed up for this year but wasn’t able to attend as I was on hollibobs. I’m looking forward to using the credit in next years event. Hoping to be a lot lighter for the climbs than I am now. Weight loss at 61 is so bloody hard!
Traffic management is the single biggest cost of road races nowadays - Cunningham Classic was binned because the costs outstrip the entries. 😢 the fact the bloody traffic management company fucked this up (the shift scheduler apparently put the wrong date in their system!) hopefully means some compensation / insurance will be forthcoming. Good to see that most people had an enjoyable day despite that!
Been waiting for this video to drop! Awesome riding with you mate.
Gonna send this to all the pastries guys now hahaha
Thanks for having me. It was a fun day, and a good challenge attacking the climbs (Peitian is a beast).
@@ModerateCyclistjust finished watching the full video and well done! Great efforts on the climbs and nice editing :)
Great video and thanks for riding with us, Ben! Solid effort up Oxley - I literally couldn't keep up
Dude, thanks for jousting all day. Massive efforts. So much fun. I had the secret advantage of no bike computer on Oxley 😜
the man, the myth, the legend.. Mr. Peitian!
So glad that you were able to make the best out of a bad situation.
When life gives you lemons…

Cheers Graham. It’s a really good event, you will enjoy it. You chose the right hobby for weight loss. Hopefully we can have a roll soon.

It’s really sad to see. But what can you do. I just hope it doesn’t deter event organisers. I reckon at least 80% of people rode anyway.
do you think it's ok to vlog and read a text of the dash while driving?
I had the camera mounted on the dash, and kind of just reacted when the text came in my car screen. In hindsight I probably should have pulled over.
All done without traffic management. Should be a lesson there somewhere.
Awesome vid but please don’t vlog and drive 😊
Camera is on a tripod when I’m in the car. Safety first.
I thought it was not a race?
