Further and further

So work has been interferring with my riding the past month or so with trips to Qatar and Pakistan, but that is behind me now and I managed to get some decent rides in. On the 8th of April I embarked on my longest ride yet, 155km to the petro port and back. The ride should have been shorter but we went the long way around via the Oxbow wedding venue first. It was a great ride with Sean, Wayne and Catherine. Racing snakes Ashley and Michelle joined us for the first 30km or so. 
There was a threesome when I hit a rut and fell; Wayne fell behind me and then Cat behind him. Wayne came off the worse with a cracked helmet and lots of scraps and bruises. Moral of the story is please do not ride behind me it can be hazardis for your health :-)

Stop at 125km, well deserved drink
Yesterday the 29th of April we did another long ride, 120km to Oxbow and back. I joined Sean, Claire, Greg, Tom, Doc and Paul for a decent ride out. I suffered on the middle section but after stopping for a coke and something to eat at MBT garage at 80km, I felt a lot stronger for the rest of the trip home. Stop for coffee at the Parks near the end topped off a great ride. I am really enjoying the longer rides, great to be out on the bike for 6 plus hours at a time. We have a great group of cycling nuts and it is always a pleasure riding with them. 
Lots of traffic on our weekend rides
