Seemed to be a tough ride this morning. I was in pain right from the start on Mill Point Road leading out with Gus. I did keep with the group all morning but the idea of dropping off crossed the mind a few times. The ride home from Raffles however was a long hard slow slog.

SPR Thursday ride 22/7/2010
Finally managed to get out for my first Thursday ride for this month. Disappointing. First two weeks were because I was just lazy. Last week is a better excuse having blacked out and whacked the back of my head in the bathroom. I don’t think any fellow riders wanted me spraying them with blood. So that was last week out. Knowing that Thursday morning is a little tougher than the Tuesday rides was wondering how long I would take to get dropped.
However I managed to hand on today. Except for the sprint point. Got a bit over 40km/h and was out of rhythm. I knew Jordan was behind me and would want to go for it so peeled off the right. Turns out he was about to make a move to overtake so luckily we didn’t touch wheels. My mother did not want to be called for a second week in a row.
Avg Speed: 29.1 km/h
