Sparrow Hill and Stromlo TRAINING RUN !!!!!

This ride turned out to be a great ride for training on long hilly fireroads as i got .... a little lost . i dont know how but i ended up next to the railway line at one point and with the pioneer spirit ....ok , with luck i found a fireroad through the guts of the place which had a huge hill that went forever and eventually rejoined the trail network and i continued on my merry way . And yes the Kangaroos were my only company untill i got back to the carpark , it was pretty full for a monday night and most there were just touching up , like me , on their Mont training . 18.64 ks of fun ...take off about a K for the fireroad from hell .
Off to Stromlo from here for a twilight lap and AGAIN no friends Kangaroos though .... time to check deodorant i think ..with much enthusiasm off i go , only to be confronted by a strong headwind , that always seemed to be working against me , at the top i still felt quite fresh with a total of 25 k in the legs so far untill the bloody sapling pines started leaning over and slapping me in the face and blocking the light from the trail ahead . The down hill run was , as allways , the most fun and heaps easier for my fitness level after now 30 odd k's tonight . Finished with a blistering 46 min ... my fastest time at night so far and that will have just topped up my training for this weekend .....time will tell
