Australia Day

Went for an early ride before breakfast. 33km around "the block" Inverloch to Wonthaggi to Cape Patterson and back to Inverloch. A very nice ride and I managed just over 30kph average. The wind was very light and the veiws along the coast were good. Overcast day but no sea mist. A view with Eagles Nest against the Venus Bay Beaches.
I think some of my soreness on the left side is due to the human desire to stay vertical. The camber of the road and the trike layout means I try to sit upright. I think it is a problem but don't know how to solve it at present. Anyway the riding is still enjoyable.

A nice riding day

Rode 36 km today, 9km to work and 26 on the way home. A bit of a head wind on the first leg home but the rest of the ride was great. Light cloud cover and a tail wind for the last section. Love the downhill with the tailwind at over 50kph. I seemed to have caught up with the time off I have had and the ride seemed easy at the end. Average about 28kph.

Back to Training

I am training for the "Murray to Moyne" Charity ride in March. This raises funds for health services in victoria. It is an overnight ride in relay format. It is a team event and will require that I ride my wedgie for the event. My normal riding has my fittness heading in the right direction but I will need to train my butt to the ride and also get used to riding in a pack. The pack riding will be interesting as it is not something I have done before.
Today I pumped up the tyres back to 70 psi and then did the 20 km loop to Eagles Nest after work. Even with the wind I averaged just over 30 kph. Almost ran over a woman who walked out from the corner without looking. Had the trike up on 2 wheels to get around her and stay on my side of the road.

Back from Jamboree

I was away from home for 2 weeks with AJ2007. Had a great time and some pictures of the troop are below.
I got to ride around Bendigo and Echuca on 2 different days on wedgies and had a good time. I needed the time to just pedal and not think. Both places are good to ride around and Bendigo is the bigger of the 2 with a great range of trails and places to ride. I rode up to the look out and spend a while asleep on the look out. It was cooled by the breeze and out of the dust of Elmore.
The photos show the 2 steads I rode. Just goes to reinforce why I enjoy my GT3 and being bent.
Added later, http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=587136 worked out I must of done about 70 km about Bendigo on the ride. I did the map on gmap as best i can remember and work out. In the heat of the day and the bike that was a long ride. The Echuca Ride was 53 km or there abouts http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=587136
