There was absolutely no competition for Norm this month. He had some massive rides, in preparation for his Tours. The rest of the field were nowhere to be seen. I came in at a rather modest 2nd place, due to plenty of bike path pootling on my mountain bike. I was just too cold and slack to wake up for the early bunch rides. Didn’t see much commuting from HY this month, although a fair bit of mtb action. HP had his arthritis flaring up again, which made it difficult to ride; especially during our Melbourne winter cold snap.

I’m not sure how exciting next month is gonna be. Somehow, I get the feeling it’s gonna be another gimme for Norm. It’s Tour de France time again, and I suspect I might be sleeping in a lot, after many late night TV sessions.

Another stage win for Norm. That makes 2 in a row. This time a convincing win over 2nd-placed, HY. A big month for Norm, also taking out the lead for YJOY. HY is back to his commuting form. Good to see some road mileage from HP this month, even on the cold, rainy days. Another slack effort from me though. Looks like I’m still struggling to regain my work ethic, after 2 slack weeks off the bike in April.
