A nice early morning ride in the mountains this will be a medium paced training style ride with minimal stops.

The ride is the standard Oaks up and back with an extra detour further up the mountains to stretch the total ride out to about 70km or so.

Estimated time in the saddle is 4.5 hours.

Four Will Do Today

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

Three hours sleep a belly full of shit food the day before and no warm up before a hard and fast start wont get you to the end of a 4hr no matter how much you try to HTFU.

But I had fun.

My lower back really played up today and I decided it really wasnt worth the pain to keep going (should of warmed up).

But I mangaed to clear some technical sections relatively easily today that I have had the ocasional problem with in the past so am happy with my effort if not the result.

Gazza's looking bloody strong top effort - well done.

Top Day Out

NB: Originally posted elsewhere on the Global Riders Network and appears via syndication.

What a great afternoon and evening of riding and racing.

And a really nice change to ride in conditions that weren’t like a blast furnace. I went back to my tried and true strategy of just enjoying the ride and saving the racing if there was to be any for the last lap or two and it worked as I was able to finish the race with a quick lap and some solid uphill climbing to hold on for second place.

Lots of fun and a great short track that really was very enjoyable.

Round 2 - Sunday 17th Jan.

This is my semi regular early Saturday morning blue mountains ride.

This ride is the Oaks up and back but with a couple differences.
