holiday FTW + holiday riding FTW

very rare head shot of me. love this women…

so this week we spent as much time as possible at the entrance before having to return home because K is working 3 days. each day [except friday] i was out riding from 6:00am riding the local loop. by the thursday i had extended it to a perfect 60km circuit that is comfortable, feels reasonably safe and most of all enjoyable.

i had a couple of attempts at the KOM on wilfred and moved from 19th overall to 4th. we are returning next week and i am hoping the weather will hold out so i can give it one last proper attempt. im hoping to move into third place overall

on top of the riding i was also going to the beach and swimming, helping the boys catch waves on the boogie board etc so its been a pretty massive week in total. the knee held up really well till friday when i was in the surf – it started to have a smaller ache again but it is more a water issue than bike. holidays have been awesome with the weather being semi kind most days although lots of the mornings it rained so i would return home after the ride filthy dirty

at one point we were tossing around the idea of buying a caravan at norah head… i would still love to

this is my favourite pic from the first weeks break
