Ride up a hill
Something that’s always good to do on a bike ride is find a hill and ride up it.
Why???
Because hills are the true indicator of your form on a bike. My form? Not as good as Dean’s, but otherwise pretty good.
This pic shamelessly swiped from Les Hewitt’s Twittering. These are four of the seven-strong group (me, Dean, Bruce, Mark) who rode up Mt Tamborine this morning. Not in the pic are Les (behind the camera, Ernie and Nigel who weren’t there yet, delayed by a couple of punctures).
It was a fine morning for a bike ride. We met at Bruce’s, got rolling by 5.30am, and were back all in one piece around 10.30 am. In between we rolled along some pleasant country roads, had some coffee, helped a woman at Mt Tamborine who had badly misjudged a corner in her Tarago and got stuck on some kerbing, and generally enjoyed a humid Brisbane day.
