Must Fix the Flat on the R3......

Got up this morning and the ITB was little better enough to commute on the S-Works only because the R3 had a Flat

Super Slow Commute on the S-Works, Alot has to be said about Rolling Resistance on Fat tyres, and the fact that the Crank Brothers Wheels are Shit.....

After an interupted nights sleep and sleeping in (Not Re-Setting My alarm from the weekend) I was an hour and a half late for work... hence no commute which I wanted to do to strech out the legs from the weekend.

I decided to go for a Lap of the block....... Ahem....Fail!
I got to the end of my street and my Rigt ITB started getting really sore, Sore enough for me to stop and walk for a few meters. then I ran for a couple of hundred then Stopped for a few run, stop, run, stop.....
Got home and put the knee on ice. Could have to give Hale a miss will see how it goes!

Boring Flat Ride but I'm glad I did it! It's the Furthest I've ridden a Road Bike Everrrr!

Took a little bit to get settled and warmed up when I hit the city I got in a groove and made my way to the Hallowed Kwinana Freeway Bike Path which Is fabled to be nice and smooth :-) and OMG was it! it was great.
untill i got to MT Henry Bridge where I took the wrong side of the bridge and ended up heading down Leach Hwy..... Ahem! Once I corrected that little Error I was back on track and it was a little on and off the Cycle path Just like parts of the NOTR Cycle path... But then I hit the Red Top and it was great but Boring.

I caught a couple of groups wheels on the way out and a Tri Guy who's wheel I sat on and then went to repay the favour which was met with a "I don't want to Draft :-)" which was fine by me as we were coming up to the 80Km mark already 5Km more than I'd set in my head to do I thought 75 out and 75 back would be nice, but as I was on his wheel I was just along for the Ride. I Decided to Bail at 80Km thanked my German Tow for the ride and Turned.

Took a Re-Fuel at the Thomas Road Servo of Red Bull, Mars Bar, Sea Salt Chips and a Gatorade! I figure the Sea Salt would help the Twinges I started to get in my Calves.

The ride from there was tough back into the breeze and every little bump went straight through me.... But I made it back to Kingsley with the help of the Gatorade and Gu's oh and a Power Bar.

Soreness in the Quads and both Achilles Tendons which I have never had before but I guess I've never done 160Km+ before.....

Time for a Stretch and a Sleep......:-)
