Then you have his fun rides on the weekend. And when we have to go down to Busselton, he has been known to set out very early and ride his bike down, and I'll meet him at the Fat Duck in Busselton that afternoon.
So yes, he does work. But he just rides a lot too.
Im kinda jealous now.....

You missed out the getting home at 1am from an Audax 200 kay ridde, oh thats right, you didnt wait up or wake up!

Hey, if you're mad enough to ride a 200km Audax night ride, I am happy to support you. From my bed.
Back to topic, I am now up to date on Bike Journal. The triathlon course was good but the rides were so short I lost my endurance ability. To fit in the triathlon course I wasn't able to ride to work for those 6 weeks, so it was Sunday morning rides or nothing.
Rode down to Mandurah last Saturday, and DIED on the bike around kilometre 56. So that was 14 km short of our intended destination.
I'd told Jezza75 to go ahead because we were with a friend who is training for Busselton. I knew that I was going to hit the wall at some point, 8 million gels and bars couldn't fix that, and I didn't want to foul up her training ride so I waved them off and slooooowwwwlllllllyyyyy pedalled in.
Devoured a very dense and good muffin at the bike shop at the other end (Hi Mickey and Jo!), caught the train back and rode home from the station. Just shy of 90km, and the most I'd done in the past six weeks was a lazy 40 one Sunday afternoon when Jezza75 was testing a new part on the bike. Ow.
