Festive 500 day TWO, yesterday
oh christmas day yesterday yeah just got up early rolled out to a place called
the regular board a reg short with the locals 22 carries out of town beautiful
roll out there not a breath of wind well until we came back home it was a
headwind I don't have that works always the way always ahead of time and when we
got to the regiment there's nothing out there it is literally very drive drive
empty quite hot that time a day as well I chased by a massive dog some
Rottweiler or massive it's him or spaced naturey thing anywhere and I yelled out
pretty quick go a couple of cuss words go Devon spin around will get out of
here
the owner comes out of the house because there was a sort of a couple houses
there anyone here yeah I big to differ
he was coming for me we were going to hang around to find out if it was a
friendly double knot it wasn't friendly so then we stopped off at a big section
of concrete in front of the cfi we buy trucks are held I just need to have a
chill out
yeah in in the nice shade there and then we were boxed in by another dog yeah so
I was not much of a dog person
this one didn't worries at all have a look at we dealt with this one
hello
you can about me
so yes I to cyclist a little bit too big for little la bacterial warfare goofy up
wait and then halfway back home we pass the soccer is coming back we were going
back into town we passed another cycle is coming out the other way
yeah look a bit grumpy and the kids must've been a problem for am opening
presents and dad's going out for a ride but when you actually gave my wife
traffic was good having given to us on the road again today so zero issues the
traffic arm i think a few of the truck drivers again gives a ton of room gave
me ye they did the blanket thing for so that's good
yeah that's normally a really d0 is going to scoop a key on the flat
yeah straits and but instead no coffee no coffee nothing was open
nothing lately truly nothing that is town it was it is really nice to ride
through the center portion which is usually quite puzzling that time of you
or any time of the year and it was just nice and smooth no one around a
playground straight through the roundabout
yeah super cool so present opening done and we had to clock up an extraordinary
506 case i think yeah isn't far
yeah we almost a decade done for the day 62 and a half average of the day we need
to get a couple at the velodrome because we have to put that to good use what we
hear ya
and where trees lots of the wide not showing on how you do the swing up on
the corners and what what you do that how you drop into the banking yeah
tracked into different proteins where you kind of just ordering your pace
yeah it's different yep let's have some fun we got home so a case with done and
then it started to really heat up in the afternoon the temperature hit over 38
degrees in town or the airport with a measured at a little bit warmer so we
had to go we had christina at the parish where I was born
where I come from many years ago and it's only eight kilometers north
we're getting very similar conditions where it was about 30 kind of headwind
and super heart that was very memorable that was probably three and a half to
four hours i think that took us that day yeah we had one drink stop and then we
ran out of water just before town
yeah that quite badly again you can get it done it's just an injured effort if
you plan to that spicy self you can get it done yet the mental game is something
else so we get with a little bit differently yesterday and phone was kind
enough to get behind the wheel and he said they panned out
I can't with 6 k's in its Howard on the car says 40 degrees forty degrees
can the government got 39 degrees i'm going to head into the next ad case so
it was kindly offered to drive today at that this fire in front of me so funny
often task
yep I've got my steady foot on today and a conditioning conditioning owners
expedition cruise control and some bloody good chains alright Christmas
dinners at the other end couple of hours the guy let's do it
so this is blog stuff hey
so Shane's requested that he gets his riding for today for the 5500 he's gonna
have to make it up for me to also get my hazy for the 5500 we'll see what he
comes up with and I'm looking forward to seeing how we go we've done this ride
together before this is a hot one today
good luck to him
where's
yeah
hello you just pulled up
I'm a drink i'm dry for tkz and I've gone through to 750 million seven
leaders that's how crazy hot it is i was at 1.5 liters I've gone to already so
it's time for a big change thank you on and the bins a steaming-hot that's
terrible and mix and Q we're sitting on about 60 for a while but it's like it's
on to houma pedals the heart rates up the bike moves a bit differently said
why people do motor pacing is the bike moves entirely differently if you saw
the footage that I got out of the saddle the bike moves the wheels are rock-solid
you can't move The Barking same way so it's good practice for when you're in a
bunch really really fast to be understand the black moves differently
pretty hard to articulate about 40 degrees what's the temperature in the
carbon saying outside its 40 degrees degrees that's going to really apply to
keep it in there are billion flies so then we're sitting at about 60 i got on
the back it off you can see her hand signals there
I'm to about when we back off to about feel 55 and under 50 which is a bit more
sustainable so i have to be in the drops there's one little warmer i can be in
behind the car it's a little pocket of air and depending on which way the guts
come from tutor is where I stood on the right you'll see me moving from side to
side but I can also see through the car into the road conditions
man these flies are amazing so
remain so it's gonna write a bit of a headache kicking the last 10 minutes
that's why I was drinking everything I had to calm myself down a little bit
just now is fine but that generally speaking you should only take a gel
yeah i'm just giving up on the Flyers I think I just lifting but justjust have
your way with me flies
cool but isn't a pretty sight there's plenty of room out here on the road
bonds go to your sibling current lu mobile when the car back to where no one
is a car back
yeah the winds actually dying down and see a breath of wind at all not right
here but we're sort of a little pocket is a bit of a deep alright soldier on
we'll get it done up so the spirits is still high
you make it they're fine and have some putting at the end it'll be good
yeah
Corner up 66 case
same old same old
that's it
talking to ok again the water gets too hot it's we're going on here 43 degrees
on the garment but he got in the car
that's what about this one yeah that's a water you know I give you super green or
something Justin water up watching but you got the car still for DoD here's a
rundown from here what happens from this corner and there's actually two corners
from here to sweeping bends my mind but if you are modulating hills high heels
i'm a bad probably three or four meters up and down to get rolling there's
nothing much to it
yeah i'm just getting it done but it's just concentration that's that's the
most of that today she's really concentrating it's like walking into a
moving brick wall but not hitting it
that's about it because we hit it it's not going no because I've been good
maybe on the skinny one mine road bond moves over i-64 behind the car wheels a
bit dusty but what these but yeah it's all about getting yourself in their
pocket of air you could see me moving around a bit on that section and I told
wanted
it's kind of funny you drive a car driver which on ski road is right in the
center of the road but I need to be on the real line we have one's not writing
and recording so you have to smooth the section for me and where there's
probably less potholes as well there's a few rocks on the road and things like
that so you just always gonna have your eyes open looking forward
well when the car is only that far away from you always gonna have your eyes
anyway but it's all good i'm grid
and how do something this size 66 down 24 to go
yeah well not this over after now some come you dont really good yeah it's just
taking a while as i said yesterday and yesterday's video we started to get out
and find that 90-minute today on the bike love wanted to get that this brings
it all back pretty quick often feel like a bar again through the flood line count
the moments
yeah
where is it written my dreams must be small
yeah
he's done it for you are independent birthplace of sir robert menzies and
change hometown where the first grow up so it's pretty cool to see these days to
achieve the challenge today and he's so much further than me on the 5500 now but
also way to do it really happy to help out and Sydney a conditioning all day
speaking
