Sundays Ride - PAIN RETURNS

First an apology for last Sunday I completely missed that the City Bay fun run was on. I assume anyone who was out had the good sense to go port road instead.


This Sunday the Pain series returns. 

Meet in the City at 8:00 am  or at the Tower Hotel carpark at 8:30 am


We have had 8 weeks more winter than normal, so its well past time to start hauling yourself out of bed on a Sunday.  

Cheers

Early Post for Sunday

All
An Early Post for this Sundays Ride its old faithful  




Henley beach Via Anzac Highway 


Meet in the City at 8am



Okay I am indulging my inner Geek with this weeks video of the worlds first cycling robot. I thought it was kinda cool and I note its riding a Fixie so technically its also the worlds first hipster robot. Unless you are a geek like me and find gyros and accelerometers interesting the first 30 seconds should suffice no need to watch the whole thing.

I wont be out this weekend but have reached a milestone and got back on the bike this week. It will still be a while yet before I am riding regularly. I aim to be fit for at least the short Amy's Ride.
