Another ride from Fairhaven, with Dave. Rode to Anglesea via the back way then did the loop from the final day of the Keen Race this year which ends near Urquarts Bluff. Was a really good ride, heaps of single track, no huge climbs, yet almost zero flat sections. The legs were fatigued from yesterday's ride finishing in the big ring, but never got any worse. We made a couple of mistakes from the track notes, but instead found some more good single track. From Urquarts Bluff rode the Great Ocean Rd back to Aireys Inlet for a pie stop managing to beat Dave on the final hill sprint. Excellent ride, nice weather. Rode with my tyres at <28psi which gave the hardtail a feel of what I imagine a dually to feel like. Only managed to bottom out the rim once!

Morning ride from Fairhaven. Headed up over the first ridge then up Gentle Annie Track. This climb went for about 1hr 15min with barely a break. The gradient's okay bar a few pinches which was all rideable until I started getting chain suck (unfortunatley hadn't taken chain lube). Came back down Moggs Creek Track staying in the big chain ring to avoid breaking it. Struggled on a couple of the final climbs having to do a little pushing. Got back, covered in mud and slightly cold. Good ride though.

To Seaford and back. Busted a young buck chroming. Idiot.

My lats were super sore after the last session. Did the same again - 60 x push-ups, 75 x sit-ups, 60 x assisted dips.

Late call up into work this morning on a day off so had to shorten this ride into a direct ride to Ferntree Gully to meet Dave. Rode very hard into the head wind. Feeling a little stronger.
