Ride on!

I know this is getting boring but I did another 100 kms this week.
I had a 10 minute head start from the Inverloch crew on the 41km trek and they did not catch me until the coast road from Cape. I stayed with them for a while too. I stayed with them past the blue house where they blew me away a couple of weeks ago. I even stayed with them up the sharp bend hill (which they race up) But they rolled down the hill close to Eagles Nest faster than me and I could not catch them after that. I was pretty tired after sticking with them for that long. So I had a nice leisurely ride back into town.
They are a really nice bunch of people. Very supportive and encouraging. They always say "hello" as they ride past me and chat if I stop for coffee with them afterwards.
I used to feel too embarrassed to have coffee with them because I am not in their league but they really are very nice people and good to be with.
I received the latest Bike Victoria magazine this week. It discusses what type of bike is best for commuting. They said that a flat barred road bike is one of the best. Like mine!!!
I rode to Wonny twice on Tuesday. First because I thought the Women on Wheels group (WOW) where meeting for a ride but I waited 20 minutes and no one else showed so I rode home. Then at 2pm I had a work meeting so I rode in again. I was early enough to change into something less lycra and more suitable for a meeting. Then 3 hours later I rode home.
I have been told that I will be paid travel for cycling to work things like this away from my branch. I have been told the rate is 9 cents a km so I will wait and see what sort of green company I work for.
I will let you know.
