Sonja replied to Sonja's discussion Riding partner(s) for Tasmania ride wanted"Oh, I am sooo jealous. What a great idea! Except, my cycling partner lives in England, so I would have to have a tag-along on the tandem. I see you're wearing Audax shirts, do you enjoy doing Audax rides?

A question though: How are you getting to Launceston (presumably, from Melbourne)."
Sonja replied to Sonja's discussion Riding partner(s) for Tasmania ride wanted"Thanks Chris, I do intend to enjoy it, been there and done it before and going back every year. Not fit? I have not been on my bike for a few months either, there is only one way to get fit, ride, ride, ride. It doesn't have to be a marathon, a…"
Chris Harris replied to Sonja's discussion Riding partner(s) for Tasmania ride wanted"Sounds great Sonja,
