My small chain ring isn't very small and Mt Ainslie is steep enough for the department of road security (or whatever they might be called) to put up warning signs. Descending in the rain is also interesting.
My plan for a long flat ride was replaced by a moderate length (78 km) hilly as it gets ride. For one simple reason - I wanted company and the peleton was going this way ...
After coming back from swimming in the lane and chlorine free pool, aka the ocean and running on unknown windy island roads I am now back to turning every 50 m and running around the all but crystal clear Lake Burley Griffith. I am also off the pizza and tiramisu diet. Eight weeks to go. With less hours in the office and no travels booked in it will be easier to stick to the program, making sure that the performance on dec 6th will be one I can be proud of.
Nicolas is currently driving from Alice Springs to Darwin with his parents. And his bike. The ride from Kata Tjuta to Uluru was a nice one. The run around the Rock however was a disaster. His knees are far from ok. A new doctors appointment and a scan is awaiting when he returns next week. If there is anyone out there saying prayers, please include Nico's knees and the hope that whatever is wrong will be fixable.
