Meet the parents
After almost 5 years, it’s finally going to happen…. my parents want to meet Gin’s parents (and vice versa).
Any ideas? Experiences? Tips? Exit strategies??

Whilst HY and HP were tearing around the inner suburban streets of Melbourne today, Al and I headed to the hills. We met at 8am at cnr Union and Canterbury Rds (sorry I was late again Al) and we soon made our way towards Mt Dandy. We encountered another 2 riders enroute, but they were only going as far as Belford Rd so we quickly ditched them as they weren’t going to be of help 
.
We get to the 1 in 20, roads slightly wet and Al heads off first. I prep’ed up for the climb by dumping the contents of my water bottle and firing out all remaining snot rockets to ensure maximum breathability.
0-1 km – 39×23… keeping it above 20km/h… good sign
1-2 km – Ouch… hmmm…. maybe I’m pushing a little too hard to begin with
2-3 km – Okay, feeling a little better now… is that a glimpse of Al ahead?
3-4 km – False flats! Woohoo! Decided to keep it in 39×23 still and just keep spinning, just keep spinning (think Dory in Nemo… just keep swimming, just keep swimming…)
4-5 km – There’s Al. Need to work hard to pass him…. and when I finally do, more ouch! Did I push too hard again?
5-6 km – Hitting the red zone… if you could hear me breathing up this bit you’d seriously think I was Puffing Billy with the amount of noise I was making. Never made so much noise breathing before. Still in 39×23 for most of the way (had to hold back to ensure I wasn’t going to blow up), then at T-500m mark shifted into 39×19 and stood for the rest of the way. Well and truly dead by the time I got to the top.
Rolled over the line, stopped the HRM – 19:49 at 176 average HR. PB… woohoo!!
Many thanks to the sacrificial lam for acting as the carrot.
Phew!
Almost had another fishless day but I finally managed to break the drought.
A skinny 30cm brown trout – small, but not too bad from these waters.
