This is just a short post because I am on a high. The short video below illustrates why I am mad enough to get out of bed at 0410. Have a couple slices of toast and then pull on some very flattering lycra and get on my bike.
Quiet roads, No one else but a bare few on the bike paths and to top it off an awesome tail wind all the way into the city. So as the sunrise broke over the city I took this short video as I rolled through South Perth on the way to the Bell Tower.
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.
