First serious road ride
Had my new Cannondale CAAD 9 for almost 4 weeks now and getting a bit more confident in traffic and with general handling etc.
Kings cross to military road- Pittwater rd-West head-Akuna Bay- Cottage point road down and back-Forest way-Wakehurst Parkway and military rd then back to kings cross.
What a beautiful ride! I've been missing out all those years just lifting weights. 117 km's in 4 hrs 37 at 25.3 km's per hour average.
How awesome is the road at west head! And so many roadies out there too. fantastic ride, i now see why my mate Brad who is also a mountain biker always has one weekend day for a road ride. Me thinks I'll be doing the same too in future...
That would be after the 8 1/4 at Ourimbah of course

Yeah - why mess about easing into it!
Did the same ride this morning (minus the City->Terrey Hills->City) part
How'd you like the first bit of that climb out of Cottage Pt? I hadn't done it before and it's a bit rude, no? One can really crank down West Head Rd too... especially when being towed by Junkie!
You mean you can road ride without being serious?
I'd thought from all the po-faced looks that roadies have on their weekend rides that being less than serious was not an option.
should a seen all the hot laps at the dam. serious shirts pants etc
there was serious energy output passing me by
I was discussing what a good average speed etc was and i asked my mate if that includes cottage point and he laughed and said that cottage point is an annual affair! glad i got mine in early...
