Well that was a very exhausting weekend a late happy Australia Day to all for friday, which is where it all began. Diving on the boat a couple of times then home and out for a ride around the 15 - 18 kms distance the longest I've done for ages. Saturday was a little easier went diving watched a movie, then went for a short run at the oval kicking a soccer ball around. Yesturday was great fun but today is another story, shoulders, arms and legs are all a bit sore but for the experience and a day out with a friend it was well worth it, plus now if I ever want to torture myself again I know where to find this 26 km track of every type of riding available. Other than the heat it was fantastic riding, up hills were at times a bit sketchy with soft gravel making it that bit trickier the downhills were great but it's obvious I hadn't been out on the bike for ages as it usually meant a slower decent than normal. Great company with three other people had a good chat with the guide up front for a while just cruising along. Towards the then (last 5 kms) we hit the single track section and it was also good in fairly good condition not to eroded fast and winding. So here comes the whole fitness craze i'm determined to have the abs of a few years ago back soon and with a little more effort it can happen.
