Quick turn around at home and after 2 pedal strokes I realised it was going to be a very long commute as there are a couple of sharp pitches towards the end! Funnily enough no Strava's this morning!

Warm air temp but the wind turned it into a fair bit of cold. I wore covers the whole way and, by trips end, I was still feeling quite fresh. Deceptively easy considering how bad the weather looked.

Almost 60k commute for me. Averaged a smidge under 30 for the whole way. A little over 30 for the loop portion. The chinese carbon FM098 is treating me nicely and have put almost 500km on it in a couple of weeks. Legs have a nice ache this morning.

Well done Jason...I did a PB yesterday morning before work, my average was 28.3 for the Loop, got a PB along the Corso as well, average was 40.5... But I did have a lead out train
On the ride home I got a QOM on a segment as well...that was done solo and I took the QOM off a friend

Yep, after holiday, family sickness, and then - the most horrid blow of all - my own man-flu I've been forced to give up on beating last years most excellent time.jasonc wrote:yeh. and you're nowhere to be seen!Comedian wrote:Wohoo! Lots of good riding before the b2gc.

I may just ride as support for my mate with his daughter on the tandem. Should be fun.

Magpie Lark
Grey Butcherbird
Probably not a masked lapwing or plover - they have a distinctive shriek as they dive

Perfectly OK this morning. Cold enough that the jacket was not clammy, eventually warm enough to strip it off. Not a wisp of wind, water like a mirror.
And now it's warming up rapidly over the next few days with 34 celsius forecast for the public holiday on Monday.

Had a departmental lunch today, restaurant was about 2.5k from the office and in the spirit of the spring corporate challenge, I scooted down on the bike (in a dress might I add), to many howls of 'showoff!' on my arrival. And I beat half the gang back as well - w1n!

Got swooped a few times, again by a bird on Allendale entrance (my shortcut between the freeway PSP and Murdoch Dr), does not bother me, the bird does not even get close, I just watch the shadows. But if freaked out a bunch students walking a friend to the train
Did do a little race training along the last section of the PSP. Scared a few fellow commuters, as each time I was doing a sprint interval, I had to pass another rider.Commuter Cup Racing to the max.

You could smash it on the loop on Tuesday and still be right for Sunday!

Drizzle this morning for the second half of the ride into the CBD - took it easy as not to shock the system too much after the weekend's inactivity, shackled to the computers for work reasons.
