| Kicked off this morning with all intents of completing a slightly altered Rhodes Roubaix. No affirmative responses on increasing the size of the Peloton, so I sailed past the meeting point (Cnr Pac Hwy & Livingstone Ave) at a few minutes past 6.20am.
By the time i reached the bottom of Livingstone I was shivering from the rain/cold. Finally after turning the legs a few times the blood started pumping and both core temperature and spirits lifted. A gentle roll really to loosen the legs from squash last night with nothing to abnormal to report. Concorde Duncan (unsure of ride name) was patiently waiting for the ER peloton and surprised to se it only consisting of 1 person. he joined on, astride a wet weather special commuter, fixed gear and all. UNfortuntely i suffered a flat just near the corner of Lilyfield Rd and Vcitoria rd. Thought i had enough air in ti to make it to the B&T, but alas, not quite enough to get to Madame’ Lash’s as i suffered another flat (low pressure/pinch). SOS messages sent out and acknowledged- however in all the confusion (from my end) i ended up walking a couple hundred metres to the bike store at Pyrmont to get some air in the tyre. I think the time is right for me to get some canisters. A side bit of trivia, one of the lovely young lasses who used to work at madame lash’s now works at the bike store i went to. She says g’ady to the ER Finally made it to Nth Sydney to shower and enjoy some more coffee… Greengate tonight anyone? |
