The launch ride was great...although it was a challenge to keep up with Nathan, Jack & Dominic, who were cycling like they were trying to win a stage of the Tour De France!!! All good I suppose and great for my fitness levels. The other 3 groups all tackled their routes and we met up for a food stop at lunch time. The look on people's faces as the Orange army took over Cafe Cargo was priceless.......we had arrived, and we were on our way to a very successful launch!!
My living room now looks like a cycle shed, Nathans bike on the rollers and mine on the turbo, wheels on the floor and chain oil on the carpet!!!!! It seems that there is competition building up in our household over who will do the most miles this week, Nathan and myself both managed 40 minutes on our trainers on day 2, whilst Kevin and Shannon were happy to watch us and pass on the offer of taking our places after we were done....boooo!!!
Tonight I was on my own....so what better than football on the TV and another hour on the trainer, although on dismounting the bike I can feel my legs getting weaker and the clicking in my left knee is telling me to slow things down......maybe a rest tomorrow and let the other 3 do their part!!! the kids are not liking my total so far....I can sense the competition in the Hawthorn house heating up......over to you Shannon & Nath
