Kud-da

Well managed to get to the top of Cudgera Creek Road Hill during the 30c+ heat this afternoon and I did it so slowly... nothing to do with the loose swails on every corner and the deep corrigations just the concern for the knee... also went for a quick paddle on the south side early this morning before the wind and heat with an old mate Wee Wee from WA good to see you again mate...

When I was cruising up Hastings Point "Hill" at the beginning of the ride dodging the tourists I also had to slow for a crossing 4 foot brown snake... ah there is yet hope for all the campers on the headland shame it was heading away from the main area... the New Years eve drinkers might need to take a bit of care where they fall in a heap later tonight...

 

The ride was 43.3 kilometers 

Happy New Year!

Commute to Nowhere

Decided to get on the Shogun even though I didn't have anywhere to commute to. Just to see if the knee held up which it did! Rode to Hastings Headland to look at the approaching thunderstorm first...



So much for cooling the weather it passed by out to sea and the sun came back out with it's usual intensity.

 

and another one for luck../

Tentative

So far so good the knee is holding up but I haven't pushed it at all, just spinning up any hills and not pushing into the wind cadence has been a little slow but not putting pressure on the down stroke.... hope it keeps up

Also this afternoon was the first time for a while that I passed another rider twice doing my loop though in the reverse direction... ahh the humidity

Shark Hunt?

Why are "they" discussing the hunting of a shark which killed a swimmer in WA but not car drivers who kill cyclists in Victoria???? Have been off the bike for anything more than 10 km rides since my trip away, the left knee begins to ache sharply after this distance.... I'll take it easy until I feel the ability to go longer distances without the pain... But have taken to the crappy surf with 2 x daily paddles with the grub for exercise.

Journey

Well, I'm off to the big smoke today for a few days via Grafton and the Central Coast.... taking the Cypress.... try to add some posts if I get rides then access and time.... later

It Should be called "Bicycle Sydney"

I Just got my latest issue of PushOn from Bicycle NSW. Nothing in it is pertinate to regional areas, especially this far from "the center of the universe" FGS why do they bother with a pathetic attempt at unified voice of ALL riders in NSW when they only provide articles and info within a radius of 2.5 hours of the CBD. The state is a lot bigger than that!
