Fairly zippy!! About 4 quicker than my best, and maybe 3 minutes quicker than the winners of that race, but that had an extra 25kms tacked on the beginning.Ross wrote:0:30:10.2mrgolf wrote:Hey Ross, out of interest, how fast was the winner?
Finish was uphill just before the gate about a km past the rec centre. Start was a few hundred metres along Corin Rd, not at the intersection of Paddys River Rd.

Tulip, Sutton, Gungahlin this morning. Nice ride, home just as it rained (was already sprinkling). 50kms in 1:25. Great weather, mostly.

Happened to me on a ride with Rob a year or so ago. Was too far from home to contemplate anything but riding on. Inner thigh was sore for a few days but otherwise nothing too bad.mrgolf wrote:Friday: Stung by a bee on my commute home, right on the thigh! Crappola! I looked down and pulled up my knicks and saw the sting come out. Wasn't sure whether continuing and pumping blood through was a better thing than stopping and leaving the blood at the site for longer. Chose former. I guess I will never know.

He kindly towed me all the way along yarra glen and up towards the city and i went a few kms faster than i ever manage on my own (derrr, drafting does that). Until I dropped off when it started to go uphill near Yarralumla.
Whoever you are (yellow backpack protector on his backpack and bike shed clobber), thanks heaps for the tow!

It helps being retired ! After doing the Fitz's Epic at the end of October I'm trying to get fit for the Audax ACE 250km at the end of January. Other rides in recent weeks have been: Namadgi Grimpeur audax 150km course; audax 'G-Spotting' 200km; 190km along the Fitz's Classic course with a few add ons; and 150km out & back to Micalong Creek (10km beyond Wee Jasper).

Edit: Your ride was out and back on the same route by the looks, I came back via Barton Hwy and Murrumbateman/Nanima Rds

Thats it for the year. The curtain closes on my best year of cycling so far. Slump in May through July, fought back and levelled since then. Lots of firsts, new crew, new bike. Hope 2012 brings more of the same... without the slump (although I figured out during the slump that I was trying too hard and pushing the pedals instead of focussing on even cadence, so hopeful I can avoid that next time.).
All the best for 2012, guys.

How did you carry that much water/fluid? Camelbak? Or do you drink the water at the rest stops? I've always been too scared considering the signs directing people not to.mezla wrote:I drank 4.5L!

Frikkin amazing how fast I was dehydrating on the way home (stupid headwind)... really needed electrolyte powder, but I've run out.
ps: I too am not game to try the rest stop water... might be ok with one of those filtering water bottles though (e.g.: Bobble)
