YPR #67 Birthday Ride

I’ll let Keith write this one up as I rocked up extremely late due to feeding responsibilities and a last minute nappy change. I didn’t catch up with those guys until the Mordy Cafe (thanks for the icy pole Keith!). There just weren’t any quick groups to latch on to and I just had to do pretty much all of the hard work on the way down (pooh hoo).

Attendees:
- Keith ‘I have a passout’
- Al ‘Once in a blue moon’ (actually he was doing pretty well… I guess he wasn’t riding with kiddie trailers for once!)
- HY ‘Hoogerland’
- CL

Also bumped into my HK/London friend there who was returning from Mt Martha. Thank goodness I didn’t ride with him that morning!

YPR #66.1 – the ride that actually wasn’t

It was a beautiful morning for a ride. HP texted me at 6am to say he wanted to sleep in. So I texted Geek and HY to say I was going to sleep-in too. Apparently Geek had no idea what was happening, so he texted everyone else. In summary, nobody went for a ride.

YPR #66 The ride that almost wasn’t

It was a real struggle to wake up this morning, but I eventually willed myself out of bed after pressing the snooze button on the alarm at least 5 times. There was a last-minute call to go help J. Yap move a massive 8-person dining table 16 floors up an apartment building by the fire escape because it wouldn’t fit in the lift. It almost seemed like an impossible task but it took 5 of us a sweat-drenched half hour to get it into the apartment.

Anyway, this morning I made it to Yarra Boulevard just past the usual meeting time. At first I thought everyone else had bailed on me but after one and a half laps by myself, Geek and Keith finally showed up. The three of us managed a couple more laps before obligatory coffee at Niche on Bridge.

YPR #65 And then there were five…

After going to all that trouble to pick up my road bike from work last night, I realised as I was standing in my laundry bike room this morning that I forgot to grab my road shoes. So I made the quick decision to ride down to the Boulevard on my broken Yeti.

Yay for having several bikes. Boo for not having several pairs of shoes with the right cleats ready to go.

YPR #64 Does my bum look fat in these shorts?

Waiter: Do you want Equal with your coffee?
