64.00 mi on Colnago CLX 3.0. [Cycling] A fine morning saw a fine roll-up of the TDS faithful, Galli Bros, Queen Toast, Guru, Evimov, Mikey, Napalm. Nice even pace to Terrace, Hinton, Bolwarra, Lorn & Home. I had to skip coffee at Hamilton and get home. A slight detour saw me crack 100km for the morning. Great morning, great ride.

20.51 mi on Giant OCR 2. [Cycling] Finally my morning training partner has returned after many months absent. Met MG and headed into town via beaches, KEP, Mem Drive, then a return ascent of Watt Street. Great morning weather and the most cyclists out than I've seen in recent months.
31.69 mi on Colnago CLX 3.0. [Cycling] Met the Evimov at the stadium at 6am, no sign of the Queen, she was still in her bed chamber. I anticipated a dense fog and came equipped on the Giant with full illumination, however a cracking clear morning emerged and we headed for Richardson Rd after a quick change of bikes to the Colnago. No problems encountered until Sandgate where I copped a blowout, thankfully Ev had a sleeve which managed to get me home, as Ev headed into town for some beach & hill work. Best morning weather for months.
31.69 mi on Colnago CLX 3.0. [Cycling] SMRR with Elviner & Toasted. We had the pleasure of viewing Guru’s new mountain bike at the stadium, seems like everyone has got new toys, including Elviner with a Garmin. Pleasantly uneventful ride, MG provided me with a great lead out for the Phoenix sprint which has catapulted me into 16th position on the leader board, one place ahead of Evimov (get that up ya!). Great coffee at 2300 where MG helped two blonde lycra clad damsels in distress by assisting with a puncture. Opportunity only knocks once RG and brother Galli has cut your lunch – should have been there.
17.40 mi on Giant OCR 2. [Cycling] Solo run into town, KEP and return via Mem Drive, nice still conditions and a great morning for it. Achieved a PB in a verbal altercation with motorist at Hamilton. He wasn't content to have 98% of the road and had to mouth of at me at the lights. I took the opportunity to unload some of my frustration onto him, potty talk ensued with an exchange of harsh terms - very heated stuff. What a king size dickhead. Nothing else to report.
