Ah, weekends like these. Out on Friday night for dinner and a few too many beers with workmates, then 6 hours sleep before heading up to Kinglake with Brett and Sime. Four hours of hills is more than I’ve ridden in a while, so by the end I was feeling just a little tired. Injuries… just can’t recommend them.

Mmm… yummy!

I don’t want to know what’s going on there.

Sunday and it was Brett’s turn to turn up a little hung over for our trip to Lysterfield. Aside from the recent Anaconda Enduro series round it’s a while since we were out there, and the changes to the start of Blair Witch were a bit of a disappointment, bye bye one of my favorite sections. Riding Buckle down towards the lake was great though, and enough to send us out for the third lap. Of everything bar the games course anyway. No stacks all round, and a dab free run through the (now rather easier) rockgarden, and a good day all up. Finished off by returning a lost phone to another rider and a surprisingly edible pizza on Heatherton Rd near the Hallam Nth Rd roundabout.

Later in the evening we headed over to DISC to watch someone ride a rather strange wheeled device around a velodrome for 12 hours. To my eyes that’s the worst of track racing and 24hr racing combined. I can picture the briefing: “So what you’ve got to do right, is just turn left. All night.” We only stayed for an hour, but apparently he covered 500km in total. Crazy.

Sat: 115.2km out, 1235m up, 4:06 on.
Sun: 54.49km out, 1051m up, 2:59 on.
