I did a group roadie ride,first one in ages. I guess I learnt to hate group roadie rides a couple of years ago because everyone just took off etc etc.. I also am not great at riding behind people. I wanted to but only with one person (my dear).

Turn the page a few years & someone I know (she posted here last year whilst hurt) encouraged me to join thier cycle shop group ride. I thought about it, read the shop site & thought since it's only a 5km ride from our house.. why not.

So yesterday I rocked up ready to join the C group (no d group anymore..!). People seemed very friendly & a wide range in ages. I didn't feel like i'd involved myself in something that was over my head! We set off & got myself looking ahead to the other person's hands and minute movements. We were on part of a bike path & then eventually onto roads. I was familiar with about 95% of the route.

So, only 60km (incl ride to & from shop) for me . I'll be back!

The rest of the day was go go go go.. We ventured to another bike shop to talk about parts for my new bike (it's still on the way...don't go there Let's just say the Titus Aust rep is a twit...) and even got to see a Carbon Titus Racer X frame plus the Fox Fork in person! (Titus is now being introduced to Perth !!!!) Ooooo.....*drool*. Then to doggie beach and a few other small errands..Man I was zonked by about 7pm

Today..i get to read stats from the ABS regarding my suburb & do a few other assignments. Smidgen ride later dis aft.
