Bev's first metric tonne
Bev Vennix passes a major milestone
There's a number of significant things in the career of a cyclist - your first commute to work, your first race, your first time on a velodrome, on a roadbike, first time up the local mountain, and your first century (100km, metric, 162km, imperial).
This morning, without any special preparation, on a cold and rainy morning Bev and I set off to meet Nath for a few base miles. Arriving at Chez Larkin, only to find Nath deciding to stay dry ... ok. Bev and I set off down to Edithvale, along Beach Rd (rainy & cold!). Up to Port Melb (and my first puncture in 9 months thanks to a chunk of glass), a quick stop for a muffin and hot chocolate, then back home via the Boule and Mont Albert Rd. Passing through Mitcham and Bev yells out 'woo hoo, 100km!'
Great ride, Bev. A metric century.
Using Carl as a wind break!
# WIND BREAK #
* he farts;and,
* he can get distracted if there are female walkers around.
But the main advantage is that:
YOU DON"T HAVE TO PUT UP WITH HIS CRAPPY JOKES
# Bevy BOO#
Although you had that big gallutte as a wind break!!!!
In all seriousness cyclists can be complacent about distances. We often just don't think about how far we actually ride. 100km is heaps. In fact it is ages since I have done 100km in one day.
Cheers
