Weekend update

A busy weekend, with just a short time for some riding. Did what is fast becoming my training ride, a loop up to Bulli and back and a climb up Mt Keira to finish.

That's progress of sorts. I remember when I was training to ride up Mt Keira, now its part of my training. I also think the worst of the magpie season is over. Hooray!

So far in preparation for the Alpine I have

Mt Keira x 6
Bald Hill x 1
Macquarie Pass x 1

Mileage in Kilometres = 3396

Weekend outing

Back at work now so the cycling has been curtailed somewhat. Had a good ride on Saturday out to Pheasants Nest and back with the Audax boys. Richard and Henry headed further out in preparation for next weeks 400km brevet, but John and I returned via Picton Road.

I used to dislike Picton road but now I can live with it. I felt strong on Saturday, which helps I guess. So the concentrated training is paying off.

Another day, another 90 clicks

Hot today, but got out early with Richard for a ride up Keira to Pheasant's nest and return. I felt strong,d espite the heat, but was suffering from saddle rash, so I'm planning for a few days off the bike. I have been reptty pleased with my progress so far.

Bald Hill

Nice ride this morning up to Bald Hill and back. Felt pretty strong and my new zip tie anti Magpie programme left my ears intact. Its great not having to be at work and taking the time to ride and I've travelled 240km already this week. Sure does make a difference.
