Today's Ride

[moonlite]

Finally a spot of summer here in the NSW Southern Tablelands -- 20C and clear, not much breeze. Set out on the Kona Jake and broke the chain within a few hundred metres -- the Shimano snap-off pin came out somehow (I suspect the chain plates were a bit wonky after rejoining). Came home and took the '98 Explosif instead and completed a leisurely spin on local dirt roads, enjoying the sunshine. Seven weeks' layoff has resulted in a loss of fitness but surprisingly, could spin up the hills without too much suffering. 16km, 185m climbing. Lovely!

Bit chilly this morning - 6°c. Had to go with full length shorts, as a friend calls them. Yes, he is a cyclist, and one more serious than I. Cold toes and fingers.

Struggled through about 15 miles on an old friend that's not seen any action for over a year. I'd forgotten how much I liked the Stumpjumper. The forks have seized but it didn't detract from the ride.

Unexpected but much welcomed Saturday afternoon ride. Long sleeve season but reasonably mild'ish with a steady breeze. Glorious sunshine and super-clear views (which means bad weather ahead). Tacky in places but rolling well.

Sunday morning road-ride before the weather turned later afternoon. Chilly 8 degrees but a smidge of colour before the sun hid behind the ever thickening grey clouds.

Half way into 100k yesterday was a brilliant time to get the first flat since getting back into cycling AND discover my pump wasn't working
