Team Iron Horse has pedalled itself back into gear. First gear ... at least!
Two training rides under our wheels with Horses, Lightning, Dark & Thunder scooping double-ride bonus points already.
It was a surprisingly sunny day compared to forecasts--a chance to explore some of the great cycling tracks around SOP, as well as the new cycleways on the far shore between Ryde Bridge and our Silverwater Bridge crossing of the Parramatta River.
Today, Stalking Horse joined us for his inaugural TIH ride, earning instant self-naming rights and joining the quest for this year's award for King of Kineticism!
Circling Centennial Park at pace, charging up the hills with determination, snubbing our noses at the lowering skies, four horsemen of the TIH apocalypse shook off scales, rust and verdigris to put another 30 km or more into their legs.
With the Gong Ride our ultimate goal on Sunday, 7 November, the Spring Cycle shakedown is only 8 weeks away. (Sunday, 16 October)
Will Saw Horse find the time to make a training session, let alone the Gong Ride?
Will Haematite Horse stop investing in carbon fiber and start investing in team training rides?
Will Highland Horse's shoulder see another handlebar?
Has Crazy Horse found teammates who can keep up with him in the carbon fiber endowed Haematite Horse and ... As Yet Unnamed Horse?
Will fortnightly training be the making of a record-breaking Gong Ride this year from Team Iron Horse?
Stay tuned for the answers of these questions and many, many more.
Pedal on!
Thunder Horse
