47.85 mi in 02:22:00 hours at 20.22 mi/h on Opera Leonardo. [Cycling] Rode over to Vets to see if I could relieve them of some cash. Met with Napalm & Evimov at More Political Donations Needed Stadium. Evimov, our domestique, ensured we arrived in tip-top condition. 30plus in C grade with the usual attacks starting on the 1st lap. Field was back together, like usual, for the sprint. Managed to get onto some good wheels & made my move where I planned to. Just missed out on taking 1st & nearly got rolled for 2nd. A good hard race, maybe my last in C grade, & $65 richer for the effort. |

33.99 mi in 01:47:00 hours at 19.06 mi/h on Opera Leonardo. [Cycling] Friday Night World Titles & even though I hadn't ridden all week, it's brains, not fitness that make a good B grade rider. Rode over with Napalm, aka Johnsey for smaller fields in both A & B. Napalm had to appeal to the handicapper to be allowed to race A. Faster pace than what I am used to & I found myself up the front more than I would have liked. Touched wheels on the last lap but I got my foot on the ground, my saddle up my clacker & managed to stay upright. Field together for the sprint & I was hoping to finish with the rest. A big hole opened up on the lee of the front group then most of the front runners seemed to just evaporate a few 100m out from the line. The Clear Cheer Squad motivated me to roll Newcastle's cycling royalty for a 4th place. A bloody tough race & I was stoked with my place. |

47.29 mi in 02:14:00 hours at 21.17 mi/h on Opera Leonardo. [Cycling] Headed over to Kooragang with Napalm & our entourage of super domestiques; Evimov & Eurobunter. I didn't have to ask what grade I was in. It was like they were expecting me as I was immediately handed the red number 13. Around 35 riders in B with a higher pace than I was used to but less surges. Two guys got away on the last lap & I managed to get the wheel of another who was going after them with half a lap to go. We worked together to bridge the gap then the four of us worked together to hold the gap. Three of us left at the finish. I couldn't believe I was going to place & I gave my last kick to take 2nd place. A great confidence boost & an unexpected chance to shout more beer this arvo. |

21.75 mi in 01:04:00 hours at 20.39 mi/h on Trek ZX 2100 Carbon. [Cycling] An unexpected break in the weather & I went for a lap of the track that loves TDS. A smorgasbord of hardbodies kept the heart rate high. Even the non hardbodies were still firm bodies. Plenty of serious cyclists out too but none more serious than Napalm who was smashing it up when I passed him before Whitebridge. Passed a couple of serious lookers on the way down to Redhead. One took my wheel & I dragged him all the way to Jewells, where I let him go at the crossing. He took off & he probably thought he was smashing me. Unfortunately for him, the race did not end at Belmont as I was soon on his wheel on the way back. He couldn't hold 30 at the beginning of the R2W climb & I was able to attack him at will & showed him the true meaning of power. Needless to say, I didn't see him again. Saw the hardbody bitch from racing who was true to form & ignored my wave. A cracking paced ride & a PR for Reg's Circuit. |

28.96 mi in 01:36:00 hours at 18.10 mi/h on Opera Leonardo. [Cycling] A Sunday afternoon blast up the track with Ellviner & the Pom. Great weather & now that I am a B grader I had to set a good pace & do a lot of the work. But that's OK I'm a B grader after all. Out to Swansea & back & my first KOM for the Strava "I need a beer" segment. 10sec needed to catch me Napalm! |

35.98 mi in 02:07:00 hours at 17.00 mi/h on Opera Leonardo. [Cycling] A week off the bike, a change in the weather & no crippling hangover made for a great morning ride with Guru & Evimov. Off to a bad start when some old fart complained about having to ride through us at our meeting spot at I Want To Build Another Coal Loader, Why Else Would I Be Making These Political Contributions Stadium. Evimov wanted hill & Guru went looking for them. Headed out to Minmi, Blackhill, where I flatted, back through Maryland, Jesmond then on to the Fernleigh Cafe where some well kept, rich bitch, driving a Merc. Coupe & wearing all the right gear showed herself to be a true bunter by wearing undies under her knicks. Had another flat, lucky Guru was there to lend a hand...again. Thanks Guru. You're the Guru. |
