Bass Coast Cycle Challenge

I rode 53 km today - not quite better from the Virus: 2 days ago I vomited my breakfast & slept most of the day after that. Yesterday I felt better & was able to work, but Tim is crook! He wasn't going to ride anyway, because of his sore knee. 

It was a good ride, although I felt quite full of breakfast the whole way & burped a lot! I didn't eat anything but had a few sips of water. I didn't stop for refreshments (not hungry!). Overall I enjoyed the ride, even the hills, I passed a few people and was passed by many many more. 

We had a "team" from work, but I didn't see them afterwards as I had to get home quickly to leave for Melbourne. The  others all did the 42km. 2 had done some training, the other 2 none (but young enough to get away with it).  

That's the last long ride before the Great Vic - I hope to do 2 shorter ones in the next few days, that's it.

This is Andy, Tim & I last year

I might have some photos from today to post later

Let's get started

Friends suggested I blog while on the Great Vic Bike Ride - I wondered, who would want to read that? But at least it'll be a record for me to look back on. 

It's the great Ocean Road route this year, and because I love the Otway coast, & I'm cycling for fitness (can't run any more), I thought it might be fun to combine the two. Tim wondered about it, till he thought realistically he couldn't commit to the training. But Rikky's coming! Will be lovely to share the experience with her. 

We start in 9 days - so cycling training is in the taper phase, which is probably good, as preparation of gear steps up.
