Yeah thanks guys. I've been out with the Omega pack a few times - I usually meet the pack at Hexham as i come from Maitland. I've found it to be a good ride, Ian does a good job getting the different levels of riders together. I just get a bit skittish in the legs sometimes and like to be at the front of the pack. I do like the pace once you hit the pacific highway on the way back. Seems to be a free - for -all and is challenging when you are unfit like me. I know there is a pack that leaves from maitland to go to Newcastle but they go too early and i couldn't be bothered getting out of bed earlier. I'm not an early morning person due to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome so i was hoping that there was a pack that i could join up with later in the morning during winter. I might try the TWI ride at some stage. Will be getting my license in a few weeks so will prob just race of an afternoon at Kooragang and Sunday mornings at Steel River.
Thanks
