Quick 5 mile bike ride on single speed road bike, beer and laying in bed reading...oh yeah, and this nonsense.
I would add a photo, but the mobile 'phone is on charge at the other end of the house. I was up a bit earlier today so I thought I would hit the road on the bike again, and go for a bit longer, as I haven't had, and won't get too many opportunities last week or this week. I clocked up 71 kms today. The most I've done in one hit since 1988. I have to admit, I didn't think I was going to make it back. I was tired, sore, hungry and I had a nasty headwind. And to top it off, it's Magpie season. These birds take sadistic joy in belting people in the head and I was too buggered to get up enough pace to outrun the blighters. All in all, it was a great session, but one that I'm in no hurry to repeat just yet.

The weather was atrocious. It was dark. The pace was pathetic and I'm a bit gun shy in traffic but what a wonderful ride. It was great just to be out there again.
I rode with MapMyRide! Distance: 14.45mi, time: 01:52:45, pace: 7:48min/mi, speed: 7.69mi/h.

@ whoever.
I've never been big on go fast bikes. This is an aluminum frame hybrid. It probably weighs high 20s to low 30s. Even still it's a bunch easier to move down the road than a MTB. The tires are 700 cm and run them at 80 psi. I'd probably do poorly in a group of road bikes but can sustain 15-20 MPH for a good while
I've been slacking since taking a new job, I never knew how hard an actual job would be;)
Today I got a run in though.
Did 11k in 46 minutes. Not my usual standard, but at least I got out there.
