The show must go on

For those of you not in Melbourne, it's been hot here the past week, damn hot! Day after day of 40+ degrees (110F). Steve joined me at a weights session with Jeff Williams (winner of the GMBC raffle).

My car had this to explain why I was sweating before even lifting a weight.


After a few sets something had broken in Steve's head. Here he is looking delusionally happy.


Sweat angels.... ace!

Eats, roots and leaves.

Woodend is one of those little towns with awesome trails, and a bakery filled with food. Jimmy wanted to get to it last weekend, but didn't quite make it, I always like to ride there... so when we wanted some time on dirt it was top of the list.

With bikes on the car, we headed out early.






Sadly due to fun times, few trail shots were taken.
these trails are walking distance from the car




After 2 laps of the track, one clockwise, one anticlockwise the ride was called off. My trusty race wheels had developed a case of "one of these things is not like the other ones".


Bikes packed, we headed back to Melbourne. There would be no country town baking for us, but big town coffee is almost as good.

It's all down hill.

As Tour de Afrique, Hard Day at the Office (FTF), the Otway Odyssey, Mont 24hr (Corc) and Australian Marathon Champs (Big Hill) approach quickly it is beginning to feel like there isn't enough time.

Hard rides, long rides, road rides, dirt rides, flat rides and hill rides have been done, but there are always fears that more could have been done.

Without being able to see the end, we can only hope that the line we've chosen will carry us smoothly through the unknown.
