| was almost not going to do anything today but with no races on and no-one at home i didnt know what to do with myself. Basically Deburghs loop along the river. Felt good at times but mostly felt weak and dizzy and walked a lot. Bit of a worry i cant even survive an hour run. Hit up some nice thick cafe style raisin toast once i got home. yummy.
Prong was impressive. |

| Manly dam with Glenn and Margo's sister's b/f andrew.
Felt a bit seedy after some beers on an empty stomach but a good old meat pie for breakfast at the servo helped fix that. Struggled a bit technically at first but got into it the further we went. Had a good stack when a little drop off went horribly wrong and ended up over the handle bars. First crash i've had for ages.
Aim is to try and be able to ride the whole loop by the end of the year.
Legs are really tired but i feel like a few easy days and ill be going good! |

| Absolutely magic morning out. Sydney put on a show weather wise today and i was pretty stoked to be out enjoying it and not working in the concrete jungle. Gotta love study leave.
had a bit of a sleep in and didn't feel super spritely which made decision to bail on m 180km Wisemans ferry epic easy. Opted for a northern beaches loop instead. Out on mona vale rd, taking macar's rd exit down to akuna bay. Had planned on riding down to akuna bay but since i didnt know how far, hard or even where i was going i thought i'd save my legs for later, as nice as akuna bay is. So rode straight through to church point. Nice little area. Back round past bayview and headed off to Palm beach. Got about 1/2way there (5km ish out) and decided i couldnt be stuffed so turned round and rode back along Pittwater rd. Found a nice cafe in Narrabeen so had a coffee and read the paper. Back on the road, busted a move through Dee Why (will stop here next time). Originally planned to head home from here but was such a nice day and roads pretty quiet to kept going to freshwater and down to Manly. Thought i may as well go up to North head. Nice little climb and a fast road out there.
Was checking out the view at one of the carparks and saw this middle aged dude in motorcycle leathers on a Harley chatting to a German sounding lady. "My name is Tom Brown, my nickname is hash so i introduce myself as.....hi, i'm hash brown, would you like me for breakfast....." I hoped id missed some important context and took it as a sign to get moving. Old Tom has Brown and his lady friend passed me on the way back down to manly...he was still crapping on then too.
Had a ripper apple cinnamon muffin in Manly and said tjena to my swedish friend who works at the cafe i'd met last time i was in manly.
Floored it home from manly. Was going good but cracked like a walnut on the steep little climb up from Roseville bridge.
Not sure about distance but with 3 1/2 pretty solid hours of riding i guess around 90km. Good day.
The good thing about a ride like this on a weekday is i can enjoy the house to myself and do what i love....dancing around the house naked freely and without risk of disturbance. |

| Rode with dari. Back to the old bike cos i dont want to put too many k's on the new one and devalue it. It felt like a bit of a dog but the fact that my arse is almost a perfect mould of the saddle suggests we have had some very good times together! |

| Been ages since i had a game. Me and my squash buddy decided a post-work jaunt was long overdue. Usually its a good game but i won pretty easily today. I think she might have been playing easy though.
The body felt heaps better for it. |
