mari-musing: clubathletica is a star! I am not the speediest rider on the road and today I was feeling pretty poorly when we set out for our undulating 52km CycloSportif event. Actually there was a Cat 3 and two Cat 4 climbs on our route so it wasn’t a cake-walk, and I was quite pleased with my 22kph average given my state of heath today. Oh and that final descent was the best! Anyway, to give herself a decent workout and allow me to keep in touch, Georgi rode THE ENTIRE COURSE in her BIG COG - in a 50:13 gear ratio. Non-cycling peeps won’t know what I’m talking about but it’s hard and she’s awesome. Plus, she looked pretty cool sporting her new Road & Dirt Speed Shop kit too. The Waroona course is beautiful, with pretty woodlands and rolling green hills - probably my favourite. The weather was stunning; a bit of a chill in the shade but bright blue skies and sunshine. The field wasn’t as big as usual, probably because of the 150km drive from Perth, but riders who stayed in bed missed out! I’m glad I made the effort. -- source link
