They've gone and ruined my holiday

[enzed]

You should try one of these trips. Last year I decided to ride Cycle Queensland (Goondiwindi to Broad Beach). My bike is a trek hybrid & I'm not the fastest cyclist around. But I did it, without using the sag wagon once.

The hardest day was 109Km from Inglewood to Stanthorpe. There was a headwind for part of the way, and all we passed was farmland. Luckily, I found myself a cycling buddy for the day & we spent the time chatting among ourselves & with other cyclists.

Another day, from Killarney to Boonah, we rode up to McCarr's Lookout. The view was amazing. We then rode down the hill into the valley. It was a steep & winding downhill, once in awhile I'd have to have a break to let my brakes cool off.

I also was a part-time volunteer in the catering tent. By the end of the week I was starting to get tired, but I never not turned up to a shift.

Here's a photo taken at broadBeach. It's not the best pictures ever taken of me (I'm the one on the right), but it's the only one I've got.


The only problem is now I realise I can ride these trips, I just can't afford to do them all.
