44.04 mi in 02:30:00 hours at 17.61 mi/h on Catbike Musashi. [Cycling] Musashi#15-Muffin at Moriac General Store. Feeling really shitty full of cold/man-flu....but dragged myself out for a ride. The first hill 5 mins from home was terrible, heart racing and unsteady, not good....sooo thirsty.....once off the GOR and onto Forest Rd, things got better, was able to get into a steady groove and my speed increased nicely. The cafe was shut at Moriac General Store so I had the last chocolate muffin and plenty of water.After my quick pitstop and bottle top up, set off again.....feeling better.... Quite bad sidewind when heading East but not too bad....turning South onto Horseshoebend Rd the wind was now a headwind but there was someone to catch in the distance so just dug in.....met a guy who was commuting home from Newtown Geelong and he was struggling into the wind, so he followed me all the way home. Idiot in Honda CRV cut us badly at the roundabout (turning right) on the house estate near The Sands, need to check the video as he chopped in front of me and gave me no room, might send to the cops.....the hills back into Juc were the usual grind but a steady run considering the cold/man-flu.....still feel terrible but more dehydrated now :-( |

88.51 mi in 05:03:00 hours at 17.53 mi/h on Sinner Mango Sport Red Edition. [Cycling] Mango#24-Epic trip to Trisled with VeloRossi-Dromana
Another early start (for me), left the house at 7.10am, met Rossi at the usual rendez-vous point & we headed to Q-cliff to catch the ferry, made good time with no stops, saw 75kph on the Garmin on Shell Rd, but gusty sidewinds made it a bit scary, lots of badly resurfaced roads with deep gravel in the shoulder (cycle lane) so stuff to the road in a lot of places & had some crazy drivers overtaking on corners with double solid white lines causing oncoming cars to swerve, why can't they just wait 30 seconds ? Got to Q-cliff at 8.45am & got the 9am ferry. Scooted along to Dromana (short 25km hop) which took about 40 minutes & then spent 2.5 hours talking with the Trisled guys. Lots of interesting stuff & Ben has some many ideas ! Lots of bikes, trikes, hpvs, WR bikes, had a look at the new Avatar but it was not possible to ride anything :-( The carbon RV looked just like a normal one & a lot stiffer than I was expecting. Thanks to Ben for spending the time to talk to us ! Might go and have a play on a velodrome in Darebin in the near future, sounds scary but fun ! Got lunch at Two Buoys, poached eggs on sour dough toast with chorizo & smoked salmon !! With a nice Mornington Pale Ale. Quite a quick dash back to Sorrento to catch the 4pm Ferry, on the way back it was mental in Rosebud, we hit rush hour with lazy drivers literally moving from one parking space 300m to another one, it was mental, cars chopping in & out of car parks but the Mango stands out a mile and lots of defensive riding & taking the lane to keep clear of opening doors onto the cycle lane ! We got to the ferry with plenty of time & had a chat with the people at the check in & in the car queues & had more tea on the ferry ! The final ride was a bit of a slog with a long drag of a hill on some awfully gravelly shoulder, like riding through treacle ! Good run on Grubb Rd, cruising in the 40 - 50kph, hit over 70 kph in a 50 kph zone leaving Ocean Grove, oops... |

37.31 mi in 02:06:00 hours at 17.77 mi/h on Sinner Mango Sport Red Edition. [Cycling] Mango#23-ANZAC Day Dawn Service-brekkie & B Heads loop
It's ANZAC day so JP suggested we all meet up at Point Danger War Memorial for the dawn service and then grab some brekkie and then ride..... Adam and I left Juc at 5.35am, (it was not too cold) quick squirt into Torquay and rode straight to Point Danger......very busy and a moving remembrance service, the bugler is the best bit !! Met the crew when we were leaving at 6.45am (JP, VeloRossi, M&M & Slim), and it had got a fair bit colder - lots of condensation on the Mango and race hood, so we hightailed it to the Sands for a buffet breakfast for $18......really good !! After brekkie M&M & Slim had to get back to Geetown but the rest of us went on our normal loop to B Heads and Lake Rd..... NW'ly wind at 20 kph so pretty steady headwind on the B Heads to Geetown part of the ride...... I was cruising faster than Adam and Rossi due tot he wind so kept stopping after a few kays......JP headed off to Ocean Grove...... Good run back down Horseshoebend Rd.... Then a nice walk with the dogs in Ironbark Reserve !! |

60.49 mi in 04:05:00 hours at 14.81 mi/h on ICE Vortex FS. [Cycling] Vortex#68-B Heads loop twice with Adam&Joe Podcast - 30kph W'ly
Moody looking day, windy and overcast with scattered sunshine and showers......30kph W'ly wind which it felt like too !! Just cracking in a few kays so only stopped for water, had the iPod charged up and had 4 hours catching up on Adam&Joe podcasts.....laughed out loud quite a bit, oops ! On lap1 saw an Orange RotoVelo when I was leaving B Heads, he came my way but he didn't catch me going into a headwind ? On lap2 passed a Catrike on 13th Beach Road....he was going rather slowly so passed him going quite fast with a tailwind ! Face feels like it's coped a load of wind burn..... It was cold enough to need thermal undershirt and leggings, brrrr...... Also saw a coupe of Eafles out at Lake Connewarre.... |

55.62 mi in 03:34:00 hours at 15.59 mi/h on ICE Vortex FS. [Cycling] Vortex#67-Ride with JP, M&M & VeloRossi
Cruisy ride with the boys..... Good to see M&M out on his S-Works (it's been a while since we last rode together).....met JP at Annies and then had a long coffee stop as JP had brekky......and Georgie rode to meet Rossi..... JP & I decided to head towards Moriac to get a few more kays in, while M&M had to get home and Rossi rode back to Annies to ride home with Georgie..... Just nice with an average HR of 138bpm.....and a reasonable average speed of 25 kph with some hills..... The back feels good !! |

37.02 mi in 02:16:00 hours at 16.33 mi/h on Catbike Musashi. [Cycling] Musashi#20-Tailsock fitted-ride to B Heads-20kph E'ly
Nice ride into banging 20 kph Easterly headwind with VeloRossi - it's been a while since the Musashi has been for a ride, now it has a Windsock fitted on the back (needs tweaking) so a bit of a test run..... The ride into Torquay was fun as there is a cycling event on to Lorne so best to avoid the Esplanade......rode out on the highway for a bit and soon lost my Musashi nervousness and anxiety !! Met up with Rossi and we went to B Heads for coffee, banging into big head wind all the way, felt worse than 20 kph......the run back on B Heads Rd was nice, clicking along at 36 - 40 kph.....tailwind......and then hit 50 kph and cruised at 45 kph on Lake Rd...... Nothing fell off the Moose, need to extend the boom some, need to get a battery for the cadence sensor, need to move the coroplast bulkhead up 10cm......will ride again tomorrow after tweaking ! |
