How was the ride, Wannabe and Udxcob?

 

Our ride was lekka.

Got quite hot from 10:00 onwards.

We finished at 10:45 in Wellington.

'Dale.

Ride was good, pace a bit hot (DD and Michael joined us, and they pushed the pace)

I ended up doing 115 km at an avg of just 29km/h. (did extra distance over Silo's). Finished at about 10h30. Nice and hot by then.

 

Feeling quite good. Enjoy your rest.

[udxcob]

It was a really great ride, at one point the weather was perfect that everybody commented how still it was

['Dale]

We tackled the Engen Route and went to Wimpy, Malmesbury, only to find that it closed down.

Settled for an egg mayo snack break at the Engen Shop.

 

Tiny K picked up a hissing snake (sidewall puncture) 10 kms outside M Bury.

 

Spring is full on, it seems!

Yeah, you had bronchitis or something like that.

Welcome back to training!

 

Take it ee-zee on the way back to strength, man.

[udxcob]

Thanks Dale, I had pneumonia and was in hospital for a night, it took ages for my body to start feeling good again after the mootie, but thank heavens I am on the mend (Dommisse had no compassion for me though, hahaha)

Phew!

 

Glad to hear you are well down the recovery path.

 

That will be quite a turn-around if you complete the DC in Nov after suffering from pneumonia in Aug/Sept.

Any riding going on this weekend? Especially tomorrow morning.

Did you get to face the wind today, Wannabe...

 

Myself and Tiny K did a peninsula side Century with oodles of climbing.

Went to visit a new bike shop, Complete Cyclist, in H bay. Had a free coffee and muffin. Cool shop!

'Dale, sorry bud, no motivation to ride on my own. Rather watched WRC on TV and spent the morning with wifey.

Glad you guys went out and seems like you enjoyed it.

Glad you guys went out and seems like you enjoyed it.

The first 50 was mentoring my brother-in-law to climb some of the ascents and Tiny K and myself split off for higher intensity stuff.

The wind was pretty rough.

 

[Wannabe]

Good on you, mentoring your b.i.l. Wind was hectic this side too, actually glad I did not go out.

[udxcob]

Hey Dale, how come you not letting us know when you riding (did we do something wrong)

Jeez the weather gods certaily aren't playing along this weekend

I know the guys are having a blast at the 3 day oudtshoorn mtb race

Coming out of at three month injury patch I have been riding gingerly, udxcob.

So, none of my usual training ride invitations since June.

But, my superpowers ave returning!

Anyone wanna join me next Saturday for a 120 km, 1 000 metres ascent, 28 km/h avg training ride?

Route To Be Determined.

Start Time Negotiable.

 

*Have no idea of the RWC match schedule - could affect proceedings!

Let me keep one eye on that...
