Belated post!
Saturday

On Saturday, I did my first average speed of 24km. I'd been aiming for 24-25 for a while to try and get up to speed with the local group rides. However, I'd been sitting at 21 for a long while and thought it would be another month before I did 24km/h. It even surprised my husband!
I had given myself a 15 minute head start of the MC Cyclery Classic Ride and the group came in 11 minutes after me! I was very happy. However, I must say, the fear of being caught works very effectively on me!
Sunday

On Sunday, I did my first > 50km. 56km to be exact.
I felt pretty bad in the morning as we had gone out the night before so I didn't get to sleep by 10pm (my usual pre-ride goodnight time). We planned to do La Perouse and then finish off with some Centennial Park laps.
Mentally I felt pretty bad but tried to get over that.
I went really hard (as hard as I could) at the Breakwall. I think that opened up my legs.
Then we went to Centennial Park where my husband tried to crack me on a lap and couldn't. (He actually set some PRs doing this!)
So a pretty good weekend. My stats are climbing up and I'm in the league of the other road bikers now. Also, I'm ready to ride on the group rides!
Very exciting!
