Good ride Julie and Apple! I like that road past Pie in the Sky, and Pie in the Sky as well.

I did a big Audax ride in Mudgee yesterday. I discovered that its very hard to climb a steep hill when you are missing your bottom two gears. Note to self, work harder on hills and fix your bike

Nice rides there Julie, Apple and Eleri.

I completed the Ride Hard to Breathe Easy Challenge today...800k's makes it my biggest month ever and I missed out on a couple of Saturday bunch rides due to rain this month, otherwise it would have been closer to 1000k's :shock:

....maybe in May I can crack the 1000k's in a month :wink:

Well done Lisa! I joined the challenge a bit too late with my Strava rides so I didn't make it. I've done 1000k's in a month (last Feb!) it's a lot of riding but I'm sure you could do it. A good goal to aim for…

Thanks Julie, the 1000k is something to aim for, if I can stretch out some of my commutes I might make it!

Doing a 135k ride on Sunday with my riding buddy, it will be our longest ride!! Thank goodness it's a long weekend here so I will have Monday to recover :shock:

Well done Lisa.
I am not as motivated as you,
Eleri is a show off with her riding :roll:

, I think I will do some of those Audax rides, I down loaded the calendar.
I now have a job during the week, so I don’t know when I can fit in the riding.

I did a big Audax ride in Mudgee yesterday.

Next time you want to go let me know I would love to attend, but I will only do the 100 or just over.

Well done! I missed the target despite a couple of big rides.

Sure - will let you know. Lots of them start in Hornsby or Waitara and just up the road from you. You can ride by yourself at your own pace, or with others. Mudgee turned out to be quite social and we all rode together for the first 70 or so to Gulgong before the various rides all split off. Highly recommended!

I hope those of you in Sydney got out on your bikes this morning. It was just beautiful, warm and a I saw a fantastic sunrise out over the ocean just as I got to Vaucluse. The sun was a red glow through the windows of the lighthouse. Wish I'd taken a picture!

hasn't it been an amazing week in NSW? Would have been a good week for a holiday and riding serious Ks!

26 kms before work and a very pretty sunrise. I was going to suggest you work on the weekend as well Lisa (in order to slow you down!) but my evil plan forgot about all your commuting!!

How long before you're a free woman again, Apple?

Apple · Postby **Apple** » Sat May 12, 2012 1:27 pm

Thank you Lisa, I will take a raincheque on that one.
I was ready to ride, I was in my lycra this morning and my friend decided that we should just have coffee

So we did

No riding this morning
