Cycling4:08:08 [4] 101.3 km (24.5 kph) +1285m shoes: Scott Yecora
Out to the cradle and back with Fran and Seth. Did 11km in an anticlockwise direction and then turned around to do the full loop clockwise to make up the 100km. There must have been at least 1000 cyclists out training on the cradle loop!
I have a PLAN! The event centres for all the O events during the Big 5 O are within MTB distance of each other... the cogs began to turn and now I have the following AR training week scheduled. Most of the MTB is on district gravel roads or plantation roads although there is a fair bit of tar where I couldn't avoid it :)
