i was not supposed to have a pass to ride today but Andrea had to have a force rest day after twinging a leg muscle (she is doing the W.A.T. 7 week training thing with Vicky).
so i did not ask twice and simply made the most of what was a pleasant ride although a tad cold and windy.
from all accounts the fasts group were, well fast, and a few did get dropped. its a savage world out there…
i did toy with the idea of going with the fast group today but i have done so little training that i’d be flicked off the back before we left coode st. so discretion being the the better part of valour, i stayed with main 1.
Main 1 stayed together most of the way but once the speed picked up on benara rd (nice tail wind) i think we were split.
we did have a case of simultaneous front wheel punctures before we have barley travelled 10 km, but apart from that we were all safe and sound.
mark h and toby were caught right as we approached river side drive at the end, and mark h took out the sprint sooo easily it made the rest of us look like beginners.
quick coffee standing up (no seats with so many of us) the headed home.
not a bad way to start the day.
Halloween party tonight , so unless i stay sober as judge i doubt i’ll feel like venturing up hills on sunday.
