Peleton of 4 on usual LBG ride - Vern made the mistake of wearing a yellow jersey so there were plenty of attacks to try and break the race leader. I also took a phone call which dropped me off the peleton and took quite a while of hard riding to get back on. Further excitement in the wetlands during another attack on the yellow jersey holder when the lead out rider in a group of 3 suddenly yelled snake - both Peter and I were on his wheel so we both ran over the snake as there was no time for evasive action (snake still slithered away afterwards). Head wind on the way and wind kindly switch around and was a head wind on the way home also. All this fast riding into wind and altitude training will hopefully help for when I get to Perth.

C • altitude training 2

Short ride around west basin of LBG. Very pleasant conditions. Short stop for a chat with Peter who was at end of the rowing course (he was the techo for the day) so discussed his 'lemon' (his VW diesel was near him)!.
