St Kilda road crit

First road crit for the season at St Kilda today. It went ok.

A bit of work on the front, a bit of hang'n back, always in touch. So far so good.

Lots of work to do, sure, but I felt ok.

Yes, alright, it was B grade.

Bicycles and espresso

Camberwell's, well Melbourne's, lucky to have new quality bike shop.

Beautiful space including select bikes, quality gear and run by great blokes Lincoln and Cam.

Get in there pronto for the greatest coffee hit around, believe me, and get a new bike while you're there too. They stock and support Specialized and BMC, oooooo.

Smiths Gully ride

Eventful? you bet.

Seized bottom bracket on the Yeti led to 2 options. No ride or take the bastard monster x.

There was no way I was going to miss the ride.

Front wheel disengaging on a descent resulting in, luckily, only bruised ribs, hand, pride and cut knee. Coulda been so much worse, I know.

Got lost at the end o the ride, near sun down, and ended up 8k from start/finish point. Called into random house and got a generous lift back to Smiths Gully store.

Burgers, beers and laughs with a great crew. Roll on...
