Well I'm about a week late in writing this blog, but here goes my claim to a 500km week.
Good to see 3 out of 4 members of 'Hogbins Heroes' now cracked the barrier ! Go hard Pup, Mal and I are with you and if it wasn't for the Rickster's close encounter with a car, I'm sure he'd have banged out some extra kms as well !
Sunday 20/1 - 178 kms. Started at Maiseys and did Waterall with Gary, Vaughan and Garren. Despite being called 'Chicken s..t' by one of our co-founders, I left the bunch in Nth Sydney and clocked up the extra k's on my own by doing a loop of Church Pt and Mosman.
Tuesday 22/1 - 60 kms. Standard ride incl Maiseys, Warriewood & Manly
Wednesday 23/1 - 73km. Same as above but went to Church Point
Friday 25/1 - 25kms. On my Rollers ! and yes I am claiming them as legitimate kms despite Cougar's scepticism. As far as I reckon, rollers should give double bonus points. I hate the stupid things. And on top of everything else, my only real crashes have been on these contraptions. My 2 year old daughter finds it very amusing and I've got the carpet burn to prove it !
Saturday 26/1 - 172kms. Big ride out through Bobbo, Berowra, Galston Gorge, Bobbo again, Akuna, West Head and return to Palm Beach. Over 2500 metres of elevation ! Bunch started with 13 people and only those in the picture made it to West Head for the happy snap....and it was hot.
Total: 508km
So I guess this is still less than half the work load of the tour itself and includes lots of recovery which we won't get in April. Clearly there still needs many more kms in the legs before March 31 !!!!
See you all on the road......P
