More than just a bike ride

• A flat for Brad less than three ks out of town
  
• Nice tempo up The Range
• Stu (the Grafton-Inverell gun) and I stretched the bunch out up the Cooroy Road for the next six k - Stu got the blame and a rocket from the P of the P - cool!
• Pomona, close to Kin Kin, Black Mtn (more of that relentless undulating Sunshine Hinterland road), Sunrise loop
• I nearly caused a crash going uphill due to my cleats completely wearing and pulling out of the pedal - poor maintenance... not normal and not so good
• Brad gets another blow-out whilst descending at 60kph back down to the coast - very lucky to keep it upright - later discovered to be the tube protruding from the first slash
• Coffee, coffee, coffee at Costa Noosa and a visit to Tim's toy-shop to collect some second-hand cleats to get me through

A little soft in effort and distance today (only considering my Warny needs). 120 all up with a few extras on my own after the coffee shop.

Best thing about today?...


Prior to this, I was a bit of a scrooge about spending the money on a jet-ski and my kids thought I was a bit of a grump.

At the end it was me saying to Karen, "Got another 150 bucks?!?"



We had an absolute ball and I couldn't believe the jet-skiing skills and guts of my 10 year old boy!

Unreal.
