Ride this week was the River Loop from Ken Fletcher Park, Tennyson. Riders this week were Craft, JC, PeeWee, Royal Screw, Klinging, JoJo, Abstract, Possum and Supacheep.
Abstract, Possum and Supacheep rode a shortened version of the loop, while the rest of us did the usual.
The pace was hectic from the start, JC, Royal Screw and PeeWee were powering on up front with the rest of us following not far behind. I was feeling the effects of running consecutive days, Friday and Saturday and my legs were like lead for the first half of the ride. There were heaps of riders out this morning, the weather was fine although overcast and showers and storms were predicted later in the day.
Usual regroups were at the top of Gladstone Road, Highgate Hill, the St Lucia Golf Course, and Chelmer railway station, all at the end of hilly sections.
We completed the ride in just on 90 minutes which appears to be the norm these days, even though we've had a break from riding for some time.
Breakfast was at the Buzz Cafe and their usually good service was a little bit lacking as we had to wait nearly an hour for our meals to be served. Not normal. Nevertheless when the meals did come they were of a high standard as usual.
