Back to the races 14/6/2010. More to think about

Since my last race day, i put plenty of thought into what I should do next. The lead up couple of weeks was very hectic with plenty of riding, running and squash. The legs were sore and a couple of light rides leading into helped soothe the legs. (10km with the trailer and daughter on Saturday, and 30kms of fire trails on Sunday- followed up with an epsom salt bath Sunday night)

Monday morning I woke up nice and early to watch Australia get pumped by Germany- followed by some…

So- Saturday morning, I took a leaisuely ride up the old Highway to Beaumont…

Steve, just noticed your q re best way to Awaba St: Off-peak, exit f/way path at Amherst, right on Miller, left Ernest, then Ben Boyd, Belgrave, Winnie, Parraween, dogleg MacPherson/Military/Belmont, right Gladstone, then Avenue, Military, Raglan down to Balmoral Beach then roll north to the bottom of Awaba. If you look at a street directory, more-or-less parallel (signed bicycle) routes are available to avoid busy roads. BTW, MB, MikeO' and I will be down there this morning ...
