6K Club. 2012 Edition. Cleaner and Greener.

[grantw]

A nice 101km along the coast this morning, last 50km into the teeth of the wind which made it quite a workout, but also a bit cooler I guess.

[oldnewby]

I didn't do my usual 80-100km ride on the Avanti thru the Dandenongs this weekend... instead, a 51km return trip from Berwick to the beach at Edithvale. I rode the old Giant MTB, and took a few paths as well as roads. But the best part of the ride was that my Mrs came along! Very exciting for both of us, but mostly me We had a great day, even though it got a little warm and windy towards the end.
A milestone day in my short history as a cyclist, very happy!

Plus one. well done. Great to see the Mrs involved. There is no way in the world Mr Apple could do that.

[Mallacai]

did my fastest glenelg loop tonight.

very happy with that. 35k at an avg of 28.2kph

[Mugglechops]

Just did 102kms with Norbs and DaveOZ.

I am claiming my KOM before they get home and upload their times

And thanks to my lead out men for dragging me around here for a PR and to beat my mate.

[DavidTomic]

We had a pretty fair wind blowing today, so I planned my route very strategically and managed to knock over a few KOM's.

Can't help but feel like I cheated a little bit though!

[Mugglechops]

That's some big speeds on those KOMs

[norbs]

That's some big speeds on those KOMs

I'll say!

http://app.strava.com/rides/4514441#85038278

For someone who has only been riding a few months, I am stunned!

[norbs]

Lewy, check it.

http://app.strava.com/segments/1020101

Dave was at least 10 seconds faster, if not more.

[DavidTomic]

LOL ... as much as I'd like to claim some sort of super human effort, ALL the credit there has to be given to the tail wind. I can't maintain anywhere near those speeds without the wind at my back .

My previous fastest speeds on that segment were 37.5 km/h, 34.9 km/h & 30.2 km/h.

[Mugglechops]

Lewy, check it.

Dave was at least 10 seconds faster, if not more.

Yes he was well gone. You took the KOM on runway drag race by 1 sec.

[DaveOZ]

Thanks for the tour of Nowra Lewy and Norbs. Glad I didn't stay home when I saw the rain, turned out a nice day.

I saw your ride on strava, very nice.

[Mugglechops]

I saw your ride on strava, very nice.

They certainly made me work hard. 40kms tomorrow and I have done 1000kms for the month

thanks bosvit & Apple she's a bit sore today, but she enjoyed it! I got her bike back in December, in the hope that she'd ride with me every now and then. I was repeatedly asking her to join me, which she did 3 times over 3 months, for short rides, with varying degrees of success. Then I stopped asking, and lo & behold, she asked me this weekend! Rapt we did 51km, and I'll be waiting with bated breath for her to ask again over the next few weeks

Mate, if you keep hitting her with 50k rides with not much between you are a braver man than I and I've been married 37 years.

Good lord it was muggy though.

How did your video go Dave? Mine fogged up the lens for a few parts.

[DaveOZ]

Video is good but I've not had time to upload it. Doing accounts.

[norbs]

Oh boy, I am tender this morning.

[DaveOZ]

Sorry Norbs, I'll try to be more gentle next time.

[norbs]

Sorry Norbs, I'll try to be more gentle next time.

Dirty bugger. PM in your inbox mate.

What did you 2 get up to after you left my place

[sblack]

Well done on the ride guys, looking forward to the video, wish I could have joined you, I'm sure you where having a lot more fun than me. I spent the day helping the inlaws move apartments in Sydney before rushing back to Berry to pick Shazz up from her course and back to church in time for band practice... Non stop day and I'm more exhausted today than I was after my tough ride last week.

[DavidTomic]

I'm actually shaping up a bit short this month. I'm sitting on 841K for the month right now, and my normal commuting will bring me up to 941K by months end.

So, I basically need to find an extra 60K's somewhere over the next two days in order to hit the big 1,000.
