shut up you wankers!
group 2 - 100km
100km Dirworks classic 08
what a great day, jason, mick, nick thanks
out of 251 rides in veterans [30-39] i place 109th.
i am quiet sore but just loved it. nuff said. im hooked!
blown away by nick and jason, nick pulled 26th in
our class, and jason i think 26th in his. amazing!
note to self, don’t bunny hop if not necessary, and always take a firm grip on the bars
so that is it, complete training mode.
light work out over the weekend but focussing more on strength right now. jason and i did a short ride but fucken bee’s nest hill, its a killer. jason couldn’t make it up it, although his effort is just quiet amazing. i didn’t really get that close at all. strength IS the focus. this weeks station runs will be hard paced to gets some build up for the dirtworks 50km. i could easily do the dirtworks, but i want to try and do it in a very reasonable time.
i have placed the xt derailer on scottie but i have to get it “professionally” tuned. i don’t really know how to so i would rather it done correctly. it looks shit in the pic above but after a good clean up it is in great condition. couple of scratches but nothing to bad. i did have to get find a replacement top pulley wheel bolt, as the thread was stripped, but for $20 i am stoked. the replacement bolt was thrown in free from blackmans when i bought the cross+mark tires
scottie will venture with me tomorrow to the city for his service. i’m hoping to organise brad to do the oak’s fire trail with me over easter.
nick from work just spoke to me and i am really keen to do the dirt works 100km ride this year. camp the night ride all day… then die/sleep all day sunday. sounds like my type of weekend!
karen and the boys just called to say they have picked up all the tarini upgrades. pretty exciting weekend ahead. i also went the full fixie last night and removed the front brake, and returned to 46/16 = 77.62 GR.
i am going to do the grose point ride this weekend rather than blue gum swamp. looking to set out early sunday morning to be back early to beat the heat.
Seen in Sydney pt3
I’m 90% sure she has returned home yesterday! thank good i feel much better about it all now.
I have now downsize my commuter pack to the torpedo 7 hydration pack i picked up a while back for $25. tis much better for commuting between the house and the silver ghost pickup point. the blackwolf 30 was just too big.
