Lucie shows the boys how its done

For today's ride Brad once again arranged for Lucie to join us.....he even decided to turn up this time which was a pleasant surprise.

The Carindale loop is one of those rides which isn't particularly long but has some nice rolling hills before it reaches the one major climb for the day, Mt Gravatt.

The talk leading up to the ride was would Spartacus Scriven hold onto his polka dot jersey won in somewhat controversial circumstances last Sunday or would Gav or Dammo take it from him.

As we commenced the climb Lucie slid past me like I was going backwards and asked "how long is the climb?". I managed to get out "a good 2ks Lucie" which only resulted in her putting the hammer down even more!!

Gav and Dammo headed off in pursuit and as Spartacus faded his strategy become clear, if he couldn't take KOM then bring someone who would prevent the other guys taking it. A good plan as Lucie was without peer this morning and while the boys chased hard the 100m gap at the top suggested that the boys are not quite in Lucie's climbing league.

Great to catch up for a coffee afterwards and hearing some more funny texting stories among the group.
