Smiddy ride 3 report

It's now after 11pm and it hardly seems possible that we have fitted in everything we have done since 6am this morning.

I am wrecked so this post will just touch on the highlights,

Headed off at 6.30sm with a strong tailwind which stayed with us all day...YEAH!!!

Met at St Therese's school Monto by hundreds if screaming kids. Sat down and chatted with them and watched them paint Gav's face with bright pink zinc cream.

One big climb for the day was the Monto range or 4 peaks as we call it. About 6 I'm of climbing at 8%. Kent punctured 2k short of start and gave up his Msvic cosmic with a 27 cog for a dodgy wheel with a 25 cog...very sad. Wheel made a horrible screeching sound all the way up the climb and was so bad no one would climb with me.

Dammo took up the challenge while Gav pushed Rose and Kent continued to curse dodgy noisy wheel.
