Life. We're in it.
This weekend marks the team's third stomping attempt at the Sydney Spring Cycle. A Team Iron Horse triumvirate will partake of the pedalling festivities this year. We depart North Sydney around 7am for a 55km sojourn across the 'arbour, around the parks and gardens of Sy'nee, then out west toward Sydney Olympic Park.
New route this year should be quite picturesque, whatever the weather.
Here's a quick re-cap of fanatical, if erratic, training since the last Blog update.
Centennial Park to Bronte
OK, we actually went around Centennial Park quite a few times before heading out to the Bronte Public School Fair. Let's call it 30km and a bag of fairy floss. Stalking Horse, Dark Horse, Lightning Horse and I in attendance.
Point Pilcher and the art of flat tires
Crazy Horse and I set forth from Blackheath on a 26km-ish MTB ride via Medlow Bath, past the Katoomba Airfied, to Point Pilcher. (Think mirror image of Evans Lookout Blackheath.)
Would have been a quicker ride, but for a flat tire and mismatched pump/tube combo. Got there in the end.
Stalking Force
Stalking Horse completed two epic solo training rides, at least. Cooks River (North Ryde to Campsie). Check. Sydney to Kurnell and back. Check. And all despite rain, dive-bombing magpies and curious misdirections. He'll be a cycling force in the Gong Ride.
More news following the Spring Cycle.
We'll be mounting our Gong Ride sponsorship campaign on completion, so please tell your friends.
Pedal on!
Thunder Horse
