Mountain Biking (Setting) 3:45:06 [2] 33.16 km (8.8 kph) +471m
ahr:127 max:179 shoes: Giro Privateer
So went out setting for Metro and rogaine -
Got all the sites done for metro now just need to get rid of a few as there are too many and decide how many is fair for each class to go to.
Rogaine did the first 16 controls and what felt like about 20% of the territory. Was aiming for around 70 controls so looks like I am on track.
When I went out wasnt hot and sky was still a bit cloudy but it cleared and my lack of suncream means forearms, behind the knees and my nose are bright pink atm :(
Lungs post sickness didnt cause too much issues - just some - otherwise a lovely day out there.
Had a psychotic bird attack me near the mosman park water tower. after latching onto my helmet I realised I swerved and got him loose but he was onto me pretty quick - so I dropped the hammer - and after 100m I turned back to see where he was and he was right there still but he was chasing rather than swooping... so I really dropped the hammer 50.7 on the mtb - I guess the calves are working again. took another 200m to shake him though.
Anyway some good controls - some pretty tough ones too starting to think I might go A3 over A4 and have a smaller scale so the circles can be very accurate (rogaine obviously).
Managed to reverse my bike into my garage whilst on my roof racks - lucky I realised as it was hitting the wall so no damage to bike or wall... roof racks moved a bit have since realigned and tightened them. Feel like I might have over tightened them though :( not sure how you judge that.
