Well there have been a few more crack stages and some not so cracker stages. A trek up to Burra and back last Tuesday saw some nice climbing and high speeds due to a strong tail wind on the way home. A pretty good ride at about 3 hours I think. The following day was a very unmotivated Cotter Uriara loop, which was briefly interrupted by some exploring of Mountain Creek Road, but was rudely interrupted by a very buckled wheel due to a broken spoke. It ended up being a very slow and hungry 4 hour ride as great care was taken not to further buckle said wheel. Last Friday saw the return of the always inspirational Honeysuckle Creek ride, a 110km ride with an 8km climb reaching gradients of 20% and a 400m altitude gain. Probably my favourite ride due to good roads the whole way, with opportunities for high speeds, and a cracker of a climb that really lets you enjoy the high mountains, and finishes in the most peacefull surroundings.
Yesterday I raced the CORC club race, and wasn't really feeling like it, and after the first lap decided to stop racing and just rolled the last lap. I had a bit of a recovery ride today out to Stromlo and back. Wednesday is likely to see a long awaited return to Corin Forrest and potentially Corin Dam itself. There is also speculation of an EPIC 200km ride to farewell the Tour de Holidays.
But for now, I'm going to have some dinner.
