A fine weekend

In this part of the world the autumn weather can be great, cool frosty mornings and fine warm days. This is how the weekend was. Just teriffic.
Saturday Morning I rode the wedgie with the Inverloch riding group, we averaged 31.75 kph and did the trip in 1 hour 16 minutes. A few of us were taking turns at sprinting in front. Good fun but not for the long haul.
After a coffee at Paul the Pieman I was off to a Scout camp at Outtrim for the weekend. I rode out on the trike with the trailer. The route is at http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=993504 It is only about 18 km each way but the headwind on the way out was hard work. It died off sunday morning but came up again about 2 hours before I was due to go home. A quicker ride home for all the assisstance.
In all the weekend was just under 80km riding and one very late night.

Very quiet time as the weather turns

I have not been riding much over the last 2 weeks. The weather has turned wet and the farmers love it. The few good days have not lined up with the time I have available so little riding, I rode 36 km around town 3 times last saturday before doing a days work at the campsite. Sunday I stayed in bed. This week has been wet and cold in the early days and later when I wanted to ride to work has been very windy. These might just be excuses but I think I will need to return to the winter plan of riding during lunch time at work to make the most of the day. I hope t ride both bikes on the weekend and attend a Scout camp.

Great weekend weather

Both Saturday and Sunday turned into great days after a cool start. I went on the Inverloch group ride of 40 km on the wedgie on Saturday morning. I couldn't go on the longer ride as I had a Campsite Event to attend from 9 am.
Sunday I planned and completed a 107.5km ride on the trike. The route is on bikely as http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/35864. Part road and part rail trail via Korumburra, Leongatha, Meeniyan and Tarwin. A 7am start with a 11:30 finish door to door with an average riding of 25km. Average overall 23.7 km/hr
The wildlife was not very active on the rail trail but I did see a Koala crossing the road at Middle Tarwin. The ride included Mt Misery out of Outtrim and while I made it up the hill I did stop at the lookout for arest and stretch. The temperature was cool where the fog was and it took a while to get down to one layer of clothing. My water consumption was 2 1/4 litres and I made a few toilet stops due to the cold.
I enjoyed the ride and the challanges of My Misery, the Koonwarra to Meeniyan back road and the 100+ kms. A great was to spend 1/2 a day.

Weather turning Cold

The weather is turning cold and the night is falling early. I am finding it hard to fit in a long ride after work. I managed 20 km twice during the week and the weekend promises to hold a couple of good days for riding. Heather is at a weding in Melbourne and I have an event to attend saturday until after lunch.

I've been Lazy

I haven't been updating a lot in the last week or so. I have been riding though. I did a couple of after work rides on Monday and thursday both 34km. One of then I averaged 31.5 km which is a new PB for me. By the end of April I ended up 235km above my target 500 km per month (total over the last 10 months) I have ridden the wedgie on Saturday and Sunday. The saturday morning ride was in the rain and I had a working bee to go to so didn't stop for coffee afterwards. Sunday afternoon Heather and I rode the block (34km) and we did a good time. Heather is improving greatly with all her training.
