Getting Stronger and Faster
I nervously checked the weather report before I went to sleep. I checked it again when I got up to feed the cat. I checked it half an hour later when I actually got up. I think I was trying … Continue reading

Disinterested Ride
73kms 849m of elevation I hadn’t been on the bike in two weeks. Had this been late in the season and had I already had lots of kilometres in, it probably wouldn’t have mattered. As it is relatively early in … Continue reading
