Awesome Training ride

[fandacious]

Cape town had the most amazing this weather this morning, so 3 of us headed out on what has to have been my best training ride to date. We did a 100km in just under 4 hours. Managed to keep the heart rate at an average of 126 and we even stopped and had bacon and eggs at a wine farm. We're planning another one tomorrow, but the weather isn't playing along. Oh well... a few hours on the IDT will have to do

All i can say is "Hurry up summer!!"

I also had a great 100km ride to-day. We also have a public holiday to-day, we are celibrating the Ameridians and Javanese migrants.

 

My ride was harder at an average pulse rate of 144bpm, but on absolutely flat roads, most between 2m and 3 metre above sea level with one climb up to about 6m to get on to this bridge over the Nickerie river.

Flat roads make you work as there is no rest!

 

 

This draw bridge is 30km inland and seen here at high tide when  I paddled from here to the town 25km away one Sunday. Ships can pass under the Bridge when it is raised.

 

This afternoon I have mapped out a 20km route on the 6 km Corintijn River. The tides are right for a late afternoon paddle.

This is where I will start from this afternoon.

 

 

And of course it is summer, as it is all year here. We have a Min. Temp of 24deg C and a max of 30deg C every day of the year! Bliss!

I saw some roadies parked off on the side of the road on Sir Lowries when we were on the way to Lebanon this morning. I hooted and got a wave on my way past. Was that you guys?
