Mellow...

I feel I've mellowed out. I receive emails about the rides and events I've done last year but have not much enthusiasm about them this time. The only one that intereste me is the Spring Cycle. Because it involves a route I'd like to get to know to get to work.

Sydney to Wollongong? Its not exactly eco friendly to get someone to drive 90km to pick me up. City2Surf? No way. Yoga Aid? OK.

I have the intention to use the energy I spend on treadmill and loopy rides with a net distance of 0 to actually go somewhere. But its a lot harder than it seems. Weather is always a good excuse.

Its really the ride to work that gets me. Everyday I stare at maps and train schedules to make a little easier. and every time the same route stare back at me. The long gradual uphill, with small reprieves breaking worse and worse traffic and hills.

not to mention trying to get over sleepy head at 7 am or earlier and the cold.

Good to see you blogging again! I wish I could do the hilly rides you did. Can't find good climbs in Singapore.
