With 10 days to go before leaving for the US and then Argentina to meet up with daughter Anna, my training for the ride is stepping up. Was in Geelong to watch the UCI world cycling championships over the weekend. Now that was motivating, 265kms for the mens road race in perfect conditions almost no wind and temp around 22deg C. Davies won bronze with a storming finish and Cadel Evans worked hard throughout the whole race in support.
Managed 70kms Saturday across to Barwon Heads, riding the mountain bike with Michael McGuirk, an Australian legend. We had great fun both during the ride and after. Kew Boulevard this morning for a quick 30ks. Managed to overtake a couple of road bikes – always fun when they see a mountain bike going past – the pace increases.
The trusty Cannondale is ready to go and bike boxes waiting for the long flight to the US.
