Another good weekend of training

Well its Sunday afternoon which means the weekend training is over.

So what did the Cyc'd boys get up to this weekend?

Probably best to start with Friday's ride for which we were joined by Australian mountaineering legend Michael Groom. Michael is a friend of some of the guys and it was great to have him along. He rides about once or twice a week and goes up hills like you wouldn't believe but then he he has climbed Everest twice without oxygen and missing the top third of both feet so we kind of think he likes the hills!!! It was great to have him along and to have few coffees with him afterwards.

Saturday was the regular Wynnum Manly loop only this week one of the team was AWOL. Kent had quite a few too many drinks on the Friday night and pulled the pin on the ride. While he did make it for coffee he was awarded the princess award for the weekend and fair enough too.

Today we did a solid 100k ride on the north side known as the Zupps loop. A good with only four of us averaging around 31k/h.

We're planning another good week this week as we lead up to the Warwick training weekend which involves riding 440km over two days with the biggest mountain between us and Warwick which should make things interesting.
