The Fastest Ride

Congratulations to all those who survived the paceline this morning - it was the fastest paceline to date - 42.37k/hr. Not only was the average speed impressive, but the bunch rolled along like a well oiled machine operating at maximum capacity and efficiency. It was impressive.

On the Coin Slot kick, I finally got the call up for a lead out. For a moment I thought I was Adam Hanson in the TDF getting the call up from super-babe-sprinter Mark Cavendish - but alas, in reality it was just little ól me getting the call for a lead out from IJ - no offence IJ!!

Our Bunch Barber attracted a lot of attention on the ride today - falling off at Stickmakers - luckily not underneath any of the passing cars!! - and then a flat just a few ks later on RedRover Road.

Special mention has to go to Kermie for pulling turns all the way on the paceline. No special mention for Astroboy who never made it to the ride at all!!
