Thursday... and Melbourne is chilly!
One of the coldest mornings on record... and what am i doing? Riding the bike, of course. All i can say is: at least i wasn't out kayaking. Woke up early to crank out a strength set on the Hawthorn Velodrome... then toodled down to Vigor to say hi to the roller gang and also breakfast later.
Simon conducting roller class atop his E-motion rollers.
The boys hard at work!
After rollers, we rolled down to a little hole-in-the-wall cafe just off Kerr St. There, we discussed at-large plans for the Daggy Ride this coming June 1 (YES!). I promised a great new daggy outfit (an upgrade from last year's 12-hour Enduro fairy costume).
Our bikes outside Minlokal, the quaint little cafe just a stone's throw away from Vigor.
Soon, Ray called and arrange to meet at Swanston St (the State Library) for the ride to Mordy. Braving the still-chilly air, i toodled into the CBD, where i took in the morning bustle of city-folk going about their lives. Elaine and Ray soon rolled up (Elaine said she was rugging up against the cold... therefore late!). Ray was the exact opposite - just short sleeves and bib shorts - i can honestly say that the cold treatment during NS must have served him well this morning! Kinda slacked our way to Mordy... but once we got there (the toilet stop), we took a photo:
It was shaping up to be a brilliantly sunny morning, so things weren't so bad coming on the return leg of our ride.
And here we are riding down Beach Rd on the way back to the city. So for the AM workout, i covered 90+km or so... not much time for contemplation of the morning's events, cos it was off to school for tutorial at 1pm! Eeek! Talk to you soon about how the weekend went (it was... interesting)!
