Sugarloaf- was a bit sloppy and tired at the start, but go into the flow of things. Got stronger as i went on and worried i wouldn't catch RV who started 3mins in front. Actually passed Rob without seeing him.
Typical west Newcastle map. Didn't feel great on the steep slopes and need to harden up a bit in the scrub. Good course for the area.
Road Cycling (Bolton Point- West Wallse) 1:20:00 [3]

What a stinker of a day, and it's only Sept. Rode into a very strong and hot westerly wind on the way there, but coming home was much more enjoyable.
Note
Massage with Alan- 7 months without a massage made this a very painful experience. But i was due and will help fight of the injuries. ITB, Quads, Calves particularly bad.
Went home and had an ice bath to help with recovery. Wasn't as bad as i expected. A beer and a sandwich made the experience more pleasurable
