Never one to do things by halves!
After the last couple of weeks I have been rather worried about my lack of long rides. Well this weekend I hope put paid to that problem.
Saturday started out well with a steady ride out to Te Miro climb with Iz for a bit, then onto Sanatorium climb. Did two of these then met up with Mike for the last one. Total of 4.5 climbs quite good and very steady. Finished off by riding over French Pass too and then back via Mystery Creek. Very windy but a good 5hr ride total 145Km and 2000m of climbing!
Got a txt Sat night from Matt to hook up for Bike Naike for Sunday! This sounded interesting and of course I agreed.
Sunday headed off with Matt, JK, Tim P, and Jonty. Spotted Dave M on the way to bunch ride and hoped he did not turn around - he did not. Over the Divi first I lead the way nice and steady then some fireworks on some of the back climbs. Included a turn off heading further north got a little worried that it might turn into super Naike! Into Huntly for food and then back over Little Naike home! That was not too bad though and Matt and JK sat on the front most of the way. I was starting to feel it now after Saturday and They had a little hit out towards the end that I had no chance of going with. All Good though as they did wait!
170Km total and 1700m climbing! Not a bad weekend I'd say...
Feeling pretty tired now and Monday consisted of a small 30m swim and 35m run both nice and easy.
Lets hope this gets the legs into shape for K2!
