After all day in a hot tin shed with most of it talking myself out of riding the 45km i had planned i thought id punish my thoughts n shut up and ride. i had a tail wind for the first 12km which i needed just to boost the legs riding through woy woy is very flat until ya hook onto woy woy road, 2days earlier i was talking with rizzo about he struggled to climb it on his new rode bike and with my 39-14 gear ratio i wasnt sure if it was possible specially for how energetic i was feeling there was turning back now. grind n grind i did barely riding over 10km/hr once of the 1st and the steepest section i had lactic burn in my triceps from pulling it up the hill. the hill became more reasonable now but nearing the top a few mtb riders popped out of the bush which i knew so i pulled up for chat which went for to long then back on the bike i had brian wanna chase me up the hill(im sure u will hear more of brian hes a massage therapist at the gym) so he had my legs burning n puffing hard to the top a few kms to kariong hill which your at the top of now so rolled down there and at the bottom i seen crawford mr pink number1 who came 4th in the 100mile in november he was on his way home after 12hrs as a vet on his single speed so we chattered n cruised along the water front complaining how crap the ride was n the view all very sicastic...he headed off home and i went back on pace to chase the sun home.soon as i walked in the door i tucked into water magnesuim tablets and 2 endura optimizer shakes with pasta and veggies mmmmm was so good, i fell asleep and was dead to the world till the alarm sounded at 530 up and off to the gym to smash out RPM. now im scoffing down about 6weetbix and a muesli bar... better get to work eh..
save riding everyone
chops:)
