Super long ride with andy, ben, and glenn.
Started early from my place and was going to ride to milson's point to catch the train but at i went passed wynyard i could smell maccas so decided to catch the train from there... 1 bacon and egg muffin, 2 hash browns, and coffee in the tummy...
We headed down from hornsby through galston gorge and out to wisemans ferry. Stopped for lunch of hamburger meal deal, so much salt on the chips which i think helped us all out with keeping the cramps away.
Crossed the ferry and headed up the old north rd (convict trail). Awesome view with some technical sections.
Headed along the trail and past the buddist hermitage which has a water tank sitting on the rd for riders to fill up drinks. Nice buddah
Headed off the great north rd down and up a massive climb to mangrove mt. Has been feeling really good the whole way and felt really strong up the big climbs.
The last parts were along rd and finished with a nice drop down into gosford.
Really happy with my riding after not being on the mtb for a good year??
I ate alot along the ride which i think really helped heaps.
Finished off with a footlong meatball sub at subway ($5.95 bargain!)

was hoping to go for a paddle out through the heads but 50km/hr winds suck

C • Unless it's a tailwind!!! 1

Did a 500m warm up.
then 5 x 100m with 30-60 sec rest.
Then 1000m without stopping, and finishing with another 500m.
I think this must be the most chlorinated pool on earth. You end up stinking for days later and i get so ichy. I need a saltwater pool.

C • Special soap 4

Wasnt very motivated, and neither was everyone else.

2 X 3 longer hills.
Felt ok at the start but struggled in the last few.
New shoes were comfortable... havent had a new pair for over a year and a half!
