Long Ride

After a reasonable night i set off on my ride at 3:30am. I was a bit over dressed but i would rather be warm than cold. I did a little test this morning and pushed a solid gear up the Tourist Road to the top of Mt Dandynong. This was a good result and made the rest of the ride easy. From their i went down to the Hell ride where i rolled the 53/11 to build the strength in my legs.

As i got back into the city i realized i had some missed calls from Kate and gave her a call. Mitchell had developed a rash on his feet and hands and was off to the doctors. This meant i had to be home pronto. It turns out he has hand, foot and mouth virus and it will take a week or so to clear up. Hopefully he is getting through the worst of it otherwise it will be a long week.

This also means he has to miss his cousins 1st birthday party on Sunday. I am sure they will make up for this in the future.

In the end i got a 7 hour ride in (200km) at a good tempo. Will be backing this up in the hills Sunday.
