Off to ride my bike
We off to Geelong for Amy's Ride this weekend, peruse over at Bicycle Justice. Given this will be only third time I've been on the treadly since the ghastly cat-off - this jaunt is obviously going to be, well, um, a test of courage and willpower over prevailing commonsense.
The road course I've decided upon is only 45km, but my prep has been exceedingly pissweak woeful. Shall now proceed to dose ones self up on carbo's, analgesics & caffeine. Yes, the ribs still hurt. And the nasty cough did nothing to improve my overall fitness levels. This Sunday morn, we might be down at the Docklands round of the Jayco Bay Cycling Classic. Look fer a grumpy chick in a cowboy hat, say hello and then back away quickly. Or if you buy me a coffee, I may become your friend. I like coffee.

There's been a mention visiting that establishment on the WoJ list. Shall check to see how he's retraining as a Barista ;)))

Have you done the ride already or is it later this weekend? I'm sure it'll go/it went well for you either way.

Hooray! Back on your bike. The h*lm*t gods will salute you.
I am sure you are right that the introduction of bone domes cut the cycling rate. Less spontaneous. But we do live longer with them on.
And glad you got treated. Last time i went down was outside the State Library and I ignored the aches and pains, which left me with a bung shoulder I now realise never healed.

Hey Mr Barista,
Do you know if that Project Oppy[1] thing is online?
[1] I can't remember whether that is what it was called, but either way, couldn't find any writeups about it at all on the interweb.

Tim, I believe the comment above you was made by quite a different barista.

Different barista indeed. Just how many baristas do you know?
Danke for link.

cfsmtb - I think I spotted you in newsfilm of Amy's Ride.
If your helmet was glittery mauve?
Her parents must have been soothed by the group empathy. I hope so anyhow.
