hmmmmm. it was fabulous here this weekend........even with the Auckland windOriginally Posted by RoadRaven
5-up TT
I did at least a third of the work on the front of our team
We had a new cyclist in our team, and it was great to sit with her and explain how it all worked.
The race was 33, + my warmup gives me a total of 49kms at no extra cost - bad luck Oak
Very nice day for a ride in Aotearoa
finally got back out with cycling group after my break............ great ride, but realised how out of cycling fitness I'd got............... they left me standing on the hills !!!!!
No bike ride today (Sunday) but plenty planned for the Xmas break & Summer sun shine.....
I shall returned from holiday determined to keep up with those girls on the hills

Hey there Millie!
Nice to have all the rain for our animals huh? And now the warmth
Do you know Marion Webb? She rode in the Nationals and was down here from Auckland last Thursday for our evening TT (she was 5 mins faster than me!).
We are doing the celebration with our parents and children this evening - enjoy your Christams by the Beach

Set out for a 20 or so miler yesterday. A cold front had started to push through and I am quite a wind wimp. The winds were in the 20-25 mph range, gusting closer to 30-35 mph and too much for me. We turned back and put in a whopping 4.4 miles.

I rully needed time Away from People so I rode out on the tree-laden to the bike shop where I'd dropped off my Trek (the faster hybrid) and switched out and rode into the 20 mph headwinds 'til I felt better (41.4 miles with a roaring average of 11.5 mph 'cause "recovery" parts are *really* slow in a headwind
)
and got back and there was a present on my bicycle from the LBS guy
and then I rode the Xtra back long enough to make a metric and an extra tenth of a mile out of it. Had to laugh at the idea of "me time" being a bike ride on a ghastly grey day (tho' it *was* 49 degrees)...
Gonna try to do the same today, except I'm not sure the bike shop's open... one way to find out. Takin' off soon!
