The alarm sounded at 630 am 3omins later i roll out of bed the aim of the day was to fit the most into a sunday jumped into my car n drove down to my shed passing 6 ppl already out training i was keen to make up for lost time, i really wanted to put a big climb in my ride today but had to meet charlie in avoca breakfast at 930.
by 730 im on my bike heading clockwise around brisbane waters from kincumber, so i cut ou theclimb to kilcare and ride the rolling hills to woy woy pretty happy with the legs trying to get up and keep at 40km/hr on the flats just was not happening and that pissed me off i round up woy woy and head back towards gosford into a slight head wind whipping up off the still water, i see more and more riders and runners but all going the opposite direction. had me thinking am i going the wrong way so i tried to convince myself this was the harder way and it was doing a great benefit.
reaching west gosford i check the time guilty of wimping out on the big climb early i turn left and ride kariong hill i didnt really attack it bust i still rode it in 9mins out of breath i limp around at the lights and roll back down into the sun towards gosford which i do not enjoy i have even less faith in drivers in these conditions. still not achieving 40km.hr for very long on the flats i turn right onto avoca drive 5hills and im done i keep pushing the pace over the last climb i notice ive done about 47km thinking i should feel like i wana do another 50km but my head makes all the reasons in the world not to with my bottle empty and no food in me or on me the second 50will have to wait i give it all i got down to avoca clock over the 50km mark and rode to the surf club finishing the ride at the beach put a huge grin on my face life is swell.
had breakfast eggs benedict and banana bread with a mocha 3 of my fav things in life:)
