Melbourne to Ballarat Classic

All signed up for this 99 year old race (yes it's as old as the Giro pretty much).
It's a handicap and I'll be riding off 16mins (mid way in the field).
Strong northerlies predicted and I'll be doing my best to conserve, conserve, conserve energy, as us smaller blokes must do in the wind.
93 kms of uphill and flat to Ballarat.
Result posted next week.
I'll be telling myself "It's all good training!" and "ya gotta suffer for success" and all sorts of weird and wonderful things en route.
Look'n forward to it.

New Yeti not far away now... WOOHOO!!!

  1. thanks for stopping above the cuttings dude. I made it home safe, though I did manage a seriously long detour (read: i got lost) when trying to avoid the big roads through Footscray.
