Pushbike Ride

Went for a longer ride, 73k's. My legs were still sore from squats. And the wind was insane between Thomastown and Cragieburn on the way out. By the time I got to Cragieburn, I was like, thats it, game over legs.

Had lunch in Cragieburn, and rested for a while, then headed back. The headwind was now a tailwind, and went really fast, until about Thomastown again, then it was a milder headwind again.

All in all it was a good ride. Did this one with a flatmate of mine, he is much fitter than me though so he seemed a bit miffed at needing to slow down for me. Although at the start of the day, he had skipped breakfast and was heading out a bit slow for me, so swings and roundabouts I suppose.

No sunburn this time, which is good.

Almost got hit by a guy who was exiting a service station. He was screaming at some woman he was fighting with and stopped, waiting for traffic. I was on the edge of the road, riding along. Then pretty much as I was infront of him (he almost clipped my back tyre) he decided it was time to make his dramatic speedy exit, and entered the road without paying attention.

  1. The first thought i had was that it would ruin his speedy dramatic exit. Then i decided i could understand this as a situation were u could comprehend a hit and run. :p
