shoes: Giant TCR Advanced
This morning i thought i would make a short lived return to red rock before i head overseas as an australian representative!!
Met up with tricky and shanel at claremont which was probably the only time i saw shanel. Watched ricky early on move to the front and take a turn because he was so fresh and injury free. It didnt last long before he was back in the pack and doing the sensible thing.
Got to burke dve and a gap developed as token chick had lost a wheel from shit cornering up on the hill. Ricky jumped to the front to try and pull us up to the lead group but he wasnt making ground quickly enough so i moved ahead and provided a tow until someone quicker went by and i upped the pace to stay on his wheel. Was on the limit getting across the gap and had to work hard to recover and not get dropped.
Hung on all the way to Mt Henry bridge and then lead the group from canning bridge upto mts bay road. it was somewhere around the narrows that ricky reintroduced himself.
Uneventful ride back until a commodore tried to race us to a driveway. He came in so hot that he couldnt pull up in time and mounted the footpath as he couldnt make the ninety degree turn without us going through his rear screen.
On a good note, i have just picked up my 29er frame Yah!!
