Another week off, and another week of getting a small set of rides in, another week ahead where it looks like interruptions…. This morning decided not to do the usual Sunday ride out Eltham way to just do flat kms. So Beach Road it was, left after 8 so missed the big crowds. Just took it easy, let groups go past and ticked a nice cadence. Only to Blackrock, as on return intended to tack on the Boulevard for a bit extra and also some short climbs. Ended up sitting in with 3 or 4 triathletes for about a kilometre till I got sick of the all over the place handling. Stayed dry, was cold, chest raw with the infection still hanging around, but nice to get more than 2 hours into the legs. Gee though, there’s a mix out there these days. Everything from tennis shoes on mountain bikes through to stealth time trial machines making that Darth Vader noise as they pass. Having it a clearway to 10 is fantastic, really didn’t notice cars at all, which is unusual.
