| Had aimed to join Gary's slow group today but he told me to go in the faster group so I did. We rode out to the Holt golf course and back to Dicko, good fun today, the pace was really good and I stayed towards the front the whole way, with a couple of turns on the front. People got tired towards the end so there was a fair bit of waiting and slowing up. I stayed beside Michelle for the last bit and we had a good gripe about the lack of signals from the boys at the front, especially on the messy GDE road. Otherwise it was all good, although I lost my bike computer on this ride early on and didn't realise until Mel pointed it out to me. Went back to look for it but didn't find it, the bastard. Oh well. I don't run with a watch so probably I can ride without a clock too. If anybody finds it on Miller street you're welcome to it, I will even give you the rest of the bits off my bike, I'm that over it. |

| Rode in to work. Bike very quiet now that I finally got around to oiling it for the first time in six years, give or take a couple of services here and there. Back wheel running smoothly again too. |
 | Bilbys (intervals) 1:00:00 [3] | |

| VW set tonight, not my favourite, so only did 8 which was in between medium and long. Devil, Danny and Paul all ripped through 12, and Lachie was pretty quick for most of them too. |

| First day of summer, no better excuse for an evening run round blackie. Cruised round, nothing special

 | Long run 1:28:00 [3] | |
| |
| Cockies long run from hackett, big group today. Felt OK after the ride yesterday which was good, but Ainslie was tough as usual and Majura was a killer. Devil and Andy made that hill look easy and I struggled to stick with Shan before she galloped off in front towards the top. Sfoglia was OK but nothing special apart from the fun company as always. |

| Bilbys saturday bunch ride, although the term "bunch" didn't really apply to me because I kept getting dropped today. We rode from ANU down to Cotter and back, interrupted by a crash at the back of our bunch when two people clipped wheels. In the ensuing drama, the guy beside me (notorious for crashing on every ride) forgot to unclip and ended up bringing me down by smashing into my side as we stopped by the side of the road. Discovered back at home that my back wheel was buckled and wasn't spinning properly.... so basically I was riding with the brakes on most of the way, no wonder it was such hard work. |
