Early yesterday morning, 5 of us left the Botanical Gardens for an almost 50km bike ride through Dumbleton, Pleystowe, Walkerston and back to the Gardens. It was actually 46.7km to be exact, but I figure I can round up. I was expecting it to be hard, and believe me, at some times it was (especially the Dumbleton hills), but I quite enjoyed it. I have learned that a 'Floodway' sign is your friend, and a 'Crest' sign is your enemy, and that there is no way to protect your backside from the pain that ultimately occurs after a long ride like that.The 5 of us all work at CW, and in the photo, from left to right : Me, Peter, Steve, Denise, and Andrew.
It has spurred us on to try something else next month. Tough decision between an all day hike up Mt Dalrymple, or a ping-pong tournament at Andrew's place. I think after waking up this morning I am leaning toward the latter.
