Friday is gym day. Always. I'm a girl with a habit.

But tomorrow I'm doing a 300km ride. Assuming I survive that is. I've never ridden that far before.

Nice work ladies :)

Here is my Strava page: http://app.strava.com/athletes/45500

Just spent a couple of days with a riding buddy in Sydney, rest day today (always when coming off night shift) and probably about 80-90 tomorrow with a bunch ride on Beach Road Sunday :)

I need to get more miles in... :-|
It only hurts if you let it....

No rest for me, but no big kays this morning as I rode with a friend who is getting back into cycling after a year off, so while it was fun it was slower than usual.

Hopefully a bigger ride tomorrow to catch this red arrow!

What are you doing tomorrow Apple?

Haha Apple, we're back to this again, don't get me wrong I love it, so watch out I'm after you!

Aiming for 7000 this year, be nice to get 7777 done though but setting that goal would get me booted out the the 6k club and this one too :wink:

I'd love it, we hope to go next year!

We lived in Adelaide for 5 years and as we weren't into cycling then we never went to the TDU :roll:

Now it will cost us a fortune to go!

I am very excited about it.
I was meant to go 2 years ago but was getting my lower back fixed after a prolapse, so I was very disappointed to have missed it after booking the whole thing

I did do this yesterday. Turns out that 300km is quite a long way! It was my longest ride ever and I was pretty pleased with my avg speed of 23.5. The weather is crazy! We started off at Beecroft, Sydney at 4am and ended up in Goulburn at about 6.45pm. The last person in got in about 8pm or thereabouts. The last 20km or so felt really hard, but my stats don't show. I think it's mental as much as anything.

Anyway, feeling confident that I can do the ACE 250 in 2 weeks time given it is shorter and will also take about 15 hours I guess. But way more climbing.

Have a great time at the TDU Apple! You will do fine, and you've put in heaps of training, despite today's impromptu bike wash.
