Gentlemen, I give you a sub 30
Its taken me a long time to finally achieve this.
It all started in 2009 when my sons best mate did a lap around Manly Dam for his his 10th birthday party. I was one of the dad's helping keep 10 10year olds in check. I was on a ladies cruiser 28inch road wheels. I had a ball. This took me right back to my youth. I was a BMX head in the early 80's.

New Strava "Fitness and Freshness" graph
I know most people on here use Strava and many of them are premium users.
For those that are, have you seen the new Fitness and Freshness graphs under the training tab? If so, what do you make of them - useful training aid or a load of old cobblers?
It seems to me that only the longer rides have much effect. I try and do at least 1 hour long interval session a week round Centennial Park but they have very little effect on the graph but definitely improve my fitness/strength.
Bantry Bay - stop riders pissing off NPWS
If anyone knows who is riding Bantry Bay at the moment, particularly the Wakehurst Parkway side please get them to stop.
NPWS are seriously unhappy. Not all structures are in and people are riding on sensitive stuff that explicitly required bridges in environmental assessment.
Lots of riders showing up on Strava at the moment. Let's not encourage the government to start using Strava for enforcement.
35C+ and humid. Too hot to ride? Maybe not. Maybe there's an upside...
Came across this reference to heat training in a Cycling Tips webisode today. I thought "WTF?"
So I did a little digging.

Apparently it's used in AFL, and not just for getting ready for playing in hot conditions.

Old Man's Valley update for 16 Nov
Rode today after the rain, not even a puddle. (didnt ride the lower blue sniggle or climb out of the valley) but everything seemed pretty dry from the heat.
Do you have more information?
If you've ridden here lately please add a more recent report. This will be useful even if the condition is the same as updates expire after 30 days.
Please do not post comments with such information - post a new update with the link above.
