TODAY was a charity ride for Rotary. 100kms from mt penang down towards the hawksbury back up mt white over to kulnura via and back to mt penang..
we rolled out on the neutral start over some cattle grates with timber boards on them. from the roundabout at somesby the race was on.. with 6 riders turning left at the roundabout when your meant to ride through it me and another guy were now at the front with an open road,"ive got one gear so i might as well get going so i attack and see how long i can hold them off... prob made it a km... on the descent bout 20riders zipp by but i beat them up the following climb:)
i flat on the dscent to mooney mooney,, it really sent my morale to an all time low..to the point i wanted to just go home. i had no pump took me ages to get tension on my chain right.. on the way down i seen the leaders coming back up so i started measuring the hill, about 4-5km of hurt was due to come.. but i turned around and starting the stomp up the climb... passing a hell of alot of riders it was great.... to see there reaction was hilarious... some shook there heads in shock and some worked harder so they werent beat by a single geared bike or a guy in a pink shirt..
i had to put a bit more air in later, and grabbed some snakes at a food station and a whole lot more comments...
just kept pushing trying to catch as many riders as i could and with a couple turn arounds i was closing in tri guys..
so kept making my legs hurt the whole way...
finished in 3hrs 45mins..:) nice solid leg work out..
off to a working week and the port macquarie come saturday for a 6hr on sunday..
chops:)
