SATURDAY WORKING BEE

With 32 riders at the start of the ride, there was a significant buzz in the air. Must have been the mosquitoes. It was bound to be a fast paced ride as the bunch were sitting on 36km/h on the way to the Yarwun/ Targinnie turnoff. The Zulu pulled in beside me to pull a turn on the way to Targinnie, and that is when the pain started to settle in.

At yarwun we trialed the new paceline idea, with the super-hitters launching themselves off the front at Yarwun and accross to The Village, with an average speed of 41.7km/h. Thanks for coming back to pick up the shitter-hitters.

Having to pull up to do a little working bee at the old calliope river bridge, all the riders pitched in to move the logs. As you can see, i was clearly doing all the work.

Cannot remember to much of haddock drive, as the hammer went down and the whole climb was just a blur.

It was good having Finn Turly form rocky turn up to train with us. Must mention Ben 10 and Finn are two very talanted tri-atheletes who are both in the Queensland team. Ben and Finn choose to harden up, and get speed work by training withe the M1 bunch.

A big welcome back to Jarrod, our own personal bunch doctor.

Did I mention who won the bunch kick today?

I believe there was to much chit chat at the coffee shop and not enough talking on the ride.
