| Normal Long Bays bunch ride. Felt pretty slow up Gebbies then suffered my way round the hills until I dropped my chain. Then ended up riding by myself, a bit of a pity really as I could have stayed with the bunch today I think.
I seem to have this pain in my chest for most of the ride and still now. Not sure what it is but it isn't very comfortable and is making it a bit hard to breath properly. Hopefully it will settle itself down. |

| OY3 at Acheron, ran medium red 5.9km and 160m of climb as I was a bit tired from yesterday. I think it was a good decision as 6km felt long enough and I really enjoyed it.
The map is really dodgy though, so many clearing aren't marked and the ones that are aren't any bigger or more distinct.
Stuffed up #1 as I couldn't work out why my 4WD track was marked as an indistinct track and got a bit confused. #2 veered off to the right, the re-entrant was very shallow. Then #3 came across a re-entrant and thought it was mine but I had stopped too soon. Looking at the map afterwards there is a very slight re-entrant on the map that I was in. Finally #4 was absolute rubbish, the vegetation boundary in the marsh didn't exist, it was supposed to be between open and forest but it was all open. Then near the control there were quite a lot of open areas that weren't marked. The control shouldn't really have been here or the map should have been improved. #9 and #11 also had the clearings partly missing. Lastly stuffed up #14 and #17 taking very poor route choices in the open. Probably lost a minute on each of these controls.
So overall I made a lot of mistakes partly due to the map and partly because of me. I also had some good legs but I think 45mins would have been pretty easy had I not made all the above mistakes. |

| Out Chris and Em's via Michael's place, then up and along Summit Road to SoK down and around to Gebbies then up to Summit Road, back along to SoK down and around to Lyttleton, then up Evans and along Summit Road back to Sok. Then for a little extra up to the top of Worsleys Track. Finally down Dyers and home.
It was supposed to be a cruisy ride but there still ended up being quite a few sprints and fast climbs. I tried to avoid most of this but still ended up in a few sprints and fast climbs, luckly I've been feeling lazy so I dropped off pretty quick anyway. |
