Today Total: 1hr 56mins MTB
So used to getting up early now I just can't sleep past about 5.00am (probably should have gone to an ANZAC Day dawn service) so I got up and headed out for a ride.
Took the Cooks River Cycleway option to Tempe and return. The morning was chill and I decided to wear my Skins under my short (padded) bike daks and fingerless gloves.
I didn't feel particularly cold but when I ran the cold water tap at home and it felt warm I knew I must be! No sense - no feeling huh?
All up 40k @ 136bpm.
For O/S readers today commemorates the first time in WW1 when brave lads from Australia and New Zealand went into battle on the foresaken penninsula of Gallipoli (Turkey). In short it was a balls up from the beginning but the ANZAC's held on for 9 bloody months far from home - the only really successful part of the campaign being the withdrawal under ANZAC leadership (finally) - the Spirit of ANZAC is deeply ingrained in the Aussie Psych - sadly this year is the first year we have been without any survivors from the war to end all wars.

So, 2 hours on the bike, mmm it is happening to me, I like it too!!
I was thinking about a 2 hours ride on thursday... will see!
Great to see the great heart rate experiment seems to be paying off. It's took me about 6 weeks to lost 3 kgs so I'm jealous!
This morning I watched my 16 year old son 'plant' a flag to commemmorate one of the School's Old Boys who died in WW2. It was terrible to think that many of the boys who died were only a year or two older than him. I would like to think that we've learned some lessons but it doesn't seem so.
Lest we forget!
Well summed up Anzac Day there 2P. Well done.
Riding a bike you must get thick skin ;-).
Good to see the HR experiment is paying dividends.

hi 2P thanks for the info. I have alot of military in my family..all my great grandfathers fought in WWI, and I recently lost a cousin in combat. I totally agree with you about the excuse to go to the malls. I am appauled by the commericals for US Memorial Day sales...if I ever see a Rememberance Day sale, I'll boycott that store forever...bad bad taste.
