I'm racking that up as a win. I was away the last 5 days in March and the first 6 days of April, so that's cost me 8 or 9 rides and probably 200 Km. I feel like I'm riding well. Yep have put on few kegs, but I think I've got a lid in that now. I don't think I'm as strong as I was for the Alpine Classic, but I'm stil riding well and in decent shape.
Now I have though done something daft. I've bought a Mountain Bike:
Now I've ridden road pretty much 100% since jumping on a bike in 2011. Mountain biking always seemed a bit dirty, a bit sketchy and basically seemed a younger man's game.
There is though an excellent mountain biking scene here in Townsville, there's a large and active club locally (Townsville Rockwheelers) with a lot of established trails to ride.
I guess over the month or two I'll see how I pick things up and see how well my skills transition.
