I met Josie yesterday morning for a nice big ride around the river. We met nice and early... 7.30am. Gosh are we turning into those cycle people?? You know the ones that you see out and about just after sun up?
Now you are probably wondering what sort of a goose goes to meet her friend to cycle and forgets her bike! A very big one... but actually, I did not forget my bike for the ride. That would have been much worse that what actually happened.
So we get all organized and off we go. There were some roadworks which had closed some of the waterfront cycle paths so we got a bit lost.. but then found ourselves and all was good. Such a gorgeous day. After 15km we stopped for a quick drink and a chat and some texts to our friend who went to Melbourne rather than cycling with us! I don't imagine that decision took much time!!
On tippy toes to look taller... but let's just keep that one to ourselves!
See, proof I remembered my bike!!
So we had a fabulous ride. We did an easy 50km (with a little bit of rounding!). Who is this person... an easy 50! Our average speed including stops was 20kmph. Gosh we have much such great progress!
After our ride we stopped for a drink and some of those mandatory stretches which Josie always makes me do! We sat and had a nice chat and then off we go back to our cars to leave... and then it happened... cheeky Josie goes to me "Wendy, are you going to take your bike? I know you don't much care for it but strange to leave it here!" Oh dear! OK, so I am a goose! I am thinking this one might take a little while to live down...
So with 12 days to go, I have done an amazing 1,244 training km. I can totally do this!!
Until next time.
