A beautiful morning and Bibra Lake is full of wonderful wild life.
So close to Perth and so beautiful.
The course is 2.5 laps of a 6.2km circuit.
Rode to and from the event from home- 18km - checked out the last half of the circuit on my way to the finish where registration was located.
I felt really good on the ride down.
Going to the start I felt the lead in my legs and my lip was stinging like mad (sunburn from last Sunday).
First half lap felt good but sorting out gears. Nearly missed a turn as the lollipop man was off having a smoke.
First full lap felt good, but fell into trying to maintain too higher a gear in the second.
36km/hr - 26m:46s - Happy and will aim for the 38 next time.
Fasted was 50.7km/h in 19:03 - new record - would love to do that average on a recumbent. :)
Chatted with a few of the really fast guys and girls, helped a little at getting results to the rego desk and headed home to some delicious Hot Cross Buns.
There were a lot of occasional riders out today. One couple had parked in the middle of the blind corner going onto Canning Bridge.
"Park it on the Grass Mate!" I yelled and cursed having to stop and get a lower gear.
What is it with some cyclists? Why don't they get off the path when they have stopped to do something?
