Urban Ride - 3 hour

So we decided to do something a bit different from our usual Mt Stromlo laps and decided an urban ride might be worth a shot.

I met with Ian and Jansen and rode from Curtin around Lake Burley Griffin.
Climbed Mt Pleasant then rode to the base of Ainslie, rode the Majura fitness loop to Watson zipped through the City and linked back up to the lake and proceeded back to Curtin.

The highlight was a nice steady climb to the top of Mt Pleasant. Unfortuanetly with a no guns blairing sulute :(

The decent on singletrack was fast and fun.

In total just under 3hours at 85% - 95%

2.5hr Moderate Sunday ride

I put a longer stem on the wifes Trance X2 and hooked up with Jamie and Ian for a 2 1/2hr ride at Stromlo today.

It's great to be able to jump on something different and go for a spin, the Trance soakes up everthing so well. We did a long lap then rode/walked the World Cup climb.
Being on the Trance I found it hard to get enough weight over the front especially on this climb so half way around when Ian ripped a hole in his tyre I lowered the stem that put me into a similar position to my Anthem.

I only got to ride the last half of the lap being fully comfortable but must remember this for April when I will be using this bike when I get tired.
