I don't have many from the launch party, but I've added some others so you can see what I looked like

 

Outdoor Cycling

 

Road Racing

I was in the Ken Dinnerval Memorial Handicap.  170 riders in a 90k road race at Albion Park, at the southern end of Wollongong.  The format is that  there are bunches of riders that go off in handicap groups and you work with the other riders in that group to catch the other groups.  In the end you race individually.    How did I go;

 

Lap 1.  The group worked well together but were riding too slow

 

Lap 2. I'm thinking that we need to attack hard on the hill and drop the riders that ain't working, but we realise that we are going to be caught by the group behind us and don't work that hard on the hill.  Pace picks up.  I bump into another rider at 57kph – opps.

 

Lap 3. Its becoming clear that we aren't going to catch the bunches in front of us, they still have a 4 minute lead.  We drop a lot of riders on the hill and head out on an impossible task of catching the front runners.  With about 10k to go we are caught by the scratch (elite) riders and the pace lifts even higher.  Finally the mega bunch is formed.  The pace is really hot, but I'm feeling comfortable and sprint for the finish beating about half of the elite riders. 

 

While we haven't won, we find out later that we weren't that far behind the winners
