Took up the challenge with 2 other riders with serious pedigree. 6:30am. The conidions were perfect. A little chilly (as compared to the heat wave we've been having) about 18deg. It had rained 2 days befoere. The ground was compacked just a few little avoidable puddles.

Took off from Bangeroo Kalaui st. I kept up until Laterne rouge segment up to the golf Club car park where the other 2 riders just lost me. LOL. I was dealing with serious class.

From then on It was my own race. Totally out of practice I got off & lifted the bike up the rocky steps & I even lost ballance half way up Heart brake hill. & pushed up.

I recon Ive got another 30 seconds in me if I practice getting up those rocky steps again on the Golf course wiggle.

I did a hotlap about 6 weeks ago & I got like 35 min. so I'm real happy about this time. Its only 8 seconds better than my previous best but that was in October 2011.....ages ago.

Both riders were patiently waiting for me at the end. One doing a PB of 29.08 and another just a warm up lap....28....something

Time to get some hill repeats in on Pariwi Road.
