i am an idiot. i rode for just under 50km yesterday in the 40ยบ heat. i left at 10am and returned home at 1.00pm. 3 hours of heat hell. the ride was average but the view at the destination point was quiet spectaular, although the river below was a real tease. i so just wanted to jump in it. the ride was from trailflix’s grose point trail. once i reached the lookout i took out my phone to take a few images, then realised i had reception, which blew me away, what was even cooler was i had a missed call. it was from blackmans, tarini was ready to be picked up.
mapping position is maked on the flickr image below.
and thanks to track cunt for the inspiration - i now have the route mapped out at mapmyrun.
it took my total km’s for the week to a nice 130.

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.
