ok

I rode to work today... took me one hour. The bike path didnt go all the way had to ride with traffic on guildford road

You are a lot better off crossing the railway line and riding the other side. Much quieter and much less chance of the last words you ever hear being "sorry mate, I didn't see you....."

Good to see you are getting the miles up, do you have a speedo/odo on your bike? If not, get one. It is amazing the difference you see when you have things like avg speed and time taken to pace yourself against. Plus, they give you a max speed reached to show off to your mates after you have ridden down Greenmount

Yeah I got one with the bike. worked up until this morning then it wasnt working. there's a bike place near my work so he looked at it. the sensor had moved to far away from the magnet. damn it

i'll try the other side of the tracks tomorrow

riding is going well. ride home is a bitch though as theres a hell strong wind against me.

did east perth to midvale/midland in 50 mins this morning.

- not to mention the ability to draft!

oh yeh that makes it soooo much easier

I went all out today, no bag or anything holding me back on the way home, 25 mins from Ozzie Park to Greenwood. was keeping up with the guys that I usually can't today.

Work has a shower, you feel so much better after having a shower to get all the sweat off before work.

[dan_the_man]

lol yea unfortunately just deodorant at work for me

man i was cycling home. hell of a head wind blowing. giving it my all. then this dood goes past like i was standing still. i couldnt even catch up he was long gone

[Stinky Rooster]

I ride a "hybrid" bike and I always get buzzed by people on their flash racing jobbies.

[gun32gtr]

oh yeh.there was this bunch in sydney i used to train with,had a few pros in it just chopping of at the front flat out,mind u this bunch was a good 100+riders,out past water fall rd i think it was,unreal fast average close to 40 for 120kms.

[dan_the_man]

lol i sit on 27kmh average when there is no wind

long way of 40kmh average

[gun32gtr]

this bunch was hectic,had to be on the ball totally when in there... people like matt white,mark renshaw,brad mcgee etc.... i miss it sooooo much just no time

[dan_the_man]

oh yea matt. i kno him. but not really

hey does it make much difference when you umm draft?

[gun32gtr]

upto 30% i think when its a decent head wind. not 100% sure but. yeh rode along side lance armstrong in uspostal service team...

[dan_the_man]

holy shit i have heard that name before

i saw these doods drafting behind a truck once. hahaha they were caining it

[gun32gtr]

thats so much fun.i used to with mark renshaw and another mate,catch rucks up and town the highway running towards sydeny. hit upto 80 clicks.

the go when doing it was to spin the smallest gear ya could,great legs speed training,although it is quiet illegal..

[dan_the_man]

yeah i'd imagine i wouldnt notice them slowing and would slam into the back of the truck

[gun32gtr]

youd be surprised how quick ya notice,had a few behind us warn the driver where tailing and he hits the trailor breaks,scary shit... but when we sit behind we get as close to skidding the front wheels on the bumper.. no word of a lie...
