Sunday training ride - Katie joins the boys for a ride

Following last weekend's epic ride to Warwick and back the lads decided on a Scarborough loop this morning and what a day it was. beautiful clear sky's made for an awesome morning to be on the bike. as usual we we off and riding early leaving at 5.30am.

Today was a little special as we had a special guest join us Kate Warren who is part of the Smiddy Challenge team. It was great to have Katie join us and add a rather refreshing female tone to the group. The other thing about Katie is that she is a gun rider.

When Jase told me Katie was joining us for the ride I was very happy but was quick to point out that he had better pick a flat course because I didn't want to be put to shame up some massive hill like I and few of the boys were last weekend. Katie is a climbing machine and made it up the Queen Mary Falls no problems although she assured us that it hurt "just a little bit".

The 90k ride was very pleasant and we averaged 31kph which was good and saw us back at Conti for coffee well before 9am in fact we had time for two!!

I'm not sure what Katie thought of the banter over coffee but lets just say she knows the boys that little bit better now.

A great ride and fantastic to catch up with Katie again.
