Sunday rides

There were 3 rides happening today: the 6.30 ride with Katina, Ruth, JB, JW and Celia, the 8am ride with Michelle, Emma and myself and the ride down in the Gold Coast with Kirsty and some more fab looking scenery.

It definitely seems to be less of an ordeal doing 100km... I think this is the 3rd one now. We took snack/stretch breaks at the cycleway (about 25km) and then coffee/snacks/stretch at Shorncliffe (55k) then again on the Jim Soorley bikeway (75k). It worked well I think.

Anticipating the feeling of triumph early on.

OK coffee done time to get going!

Michelle, Emma and I clocked 100kms as we rode past Celia's house and then decided to celebrated by going up Dornoch terrace - just to see how the legs would cope with a decent hill after a long ride. I have to admit to grunting a bit but other than that all 3 of us made it with no serious problems.

Route: Decker Park (just before the Houghton Highway bridge) and back with a quick up and down Dornoch. Total: 103kms

Meanwhile, Kirsty sent us some more tortuous photos of her ride on the Gold Coast...
