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
