I don't normally post about my rides but i will about yesterdays.

I did a 40km team time trial cycling event in York. (www.cyclosportif.com.au) There were 5 of us and we were out to ride & not go fast as a few of the girls were recovering from the flu. The last time i biked through York it was on my 200km in May.

Anywho, we were the last to leave and started off at about 23km/hr which was fine. It had been a while since i'd biked with a group and the speed actually helped me build my confidence. We discussed what speed we wanted to stay at and agreed on 25km/hr. The roads were relatively quiet but had one dork zoom past us..gee don't slow down for cyclists or anything ok.. That and an ambulance! Dunno what happened?

We pushed the speed up a bit to 28km/hr and that felt cool. IT was a beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky, a slight wind and flat roads. I never felt i'd gotten into something over my head and we were all ok with our speed. ON the way back it was great as we sat at 30km/hr & watched the A(i think 70km) distance riders zoom past. Most of the folks who cycled the A & B distances are preparing for the upcoming Tri season.

It was a great day out. I forgot my sunscreen though and have to remind myself that yes summer's just about here.
