Ride Detail
Sun, Mar 11, 2012 - 37.83 mi [Cycling] Details
37.83 mi in 02:16:00 hours at 16.69 mi/h on ICE Vortex FS. [Cycling] Vortex#27-Barwon Heads loop. Southerly today so pushed me up Horseshoe but would have to ride against it on the way home.....bit overcast when I left but cleared and was sunny at the end. Passed a recumbenteer on a Greenspeed with Windwrap fairing and lots of lights, he was going at a slow bur steady rate so said "hello" and a little banter then onwards to 13th Beach - started chatting to a chap about everything.,..surf, kayaking, cycling, he used to live in Holland until 18 months ago to live in Ocean Grove where he grew up. Feeling a little weary leaving 13th Beach and the road seems uphill which ever way you go, thinks it's the coarse chip bitumen, then hit headwinds as I turned south, ouchy.... Torquay busy as usual on a sunny day, people not looking what they are doing or paying attention, tsk tsk tsk.... Then right at the end of my ride in Jan Juc a girl is more worried about her text message than crossing the road safely ?? A contender for this year's Darwin Award ?

A nice sunny afternoon, chilly in the shade but nice in the sun.... Getting faster on the Moose....Rossi had lead chicken legs today and was struggling a bit, even after an emergency refuel...... Bit of 20kph SW'ly which was interesting but still a decent average ! Good coffee at Annies !

41.19 mi in 02:01:00 hours at 20.43 mi/h on Catbike Musashi. [Cycling] Musashi#23-Crit Track-with Rossi

Not ridden for 1 week due to awful rain and wind so busting for a ride..... Obviously the rest was good as was flying, not much wind at the track which is unusual so had a good run, 32.8kph average for 2 hours on a twisty track with an average of 139 bpm, get in there !!

39.34 mi in 02:12:00 hours at 17.88 mi/h on Sinner Mango Sport Red Edition. [Cycling] Mango#26(Flevoroof)-B Heads loop with JP-30-50kph NW'ly-gusty !!

Not ridden with JP for a while and no response from VeloRossi....saw the forecast for strong wind so took the Mango but with the Flevo-roof.... A real cruisy ride to Annies and the wind was gusty in places but not too bad, really easy.... After a coffee, the wind had really picked up and we noticed it, JP felt it !! JP was feeling strong so went off to go to Moriac, I decided to have a go at HSB with the tailwind..... Was dodgy in places with the slight crosswind but went past a roadie doing 47kph to his 30'ish....I did ring my bell. Had to stop twice at road intersections at Mount Duneed and Blackgate Rd but should be my PR's....I'll check on Strava !!

79.22 mi in 05:00:00 hours at 15.84 mi/h on ICE Vortex FS. [Cycling] Vortex#74-Bellarine Loop with VeloRossi-520km completed in May !!

Bit of a late start, oops.... But sunny and a 20-30kph NW'ly, the first 2.5hours was hard work banging into the wind, only 23.5 kph average and crappy rough roads with some small craters in them ! Big hills going into Portarlington ! Lunch at Portarlington in the sun, great steak & guinness pie and a cheeky cider ! The rest of the ride was lovely, smooth tarmac, great views, easy to go 33 - 35kph cruising, on the slight slopes we saw upto 47 kph with very little effort. Had a couple of nice chats with people in Port Lonsdale and then a few more hills and then home Good ride Rossi !
