Loop the Lake

So I drove 150km to Newcastle stayed the night and went to Spears Point for the 730 start. I met my colleagues took a picture and set off. They left me behind at the 10 km mark. I didnt mind, I mean I didnt expect to catch up with a road bike or a fit man.

So I went my own pace. Despite that I thought I tried reasonably hard. I pedalled on downhills mostly and I didnt stop to walk on the hills, as tempting as that can be.

Stopped at the morning tea point 35 km for a muffin. 50km where there was a bus stop on the highway and at the fruit stop 15 km from the finish.

At some point I started seeing the saddle with a bit of loathing.

I finished 85 km in 4 hr 45 min.

It was great and I look forward to the next one.

I love bike riding.
