Sunday Williams ride

A peleton (!) of four started this morning, with three going on to Williams. Craig went with us to the airport, as a recovery ride after yesterday's killer 90 km at an average of 34 km/hr. I'll leave it to one of the three supermen (Paul, Derek, Craig) to write about their pain.

Pete, Dennis and Dave took a much more relaxed approach, and stopped in Williams for coffee (all) and a muffin (Dave) before an almost wind-free return on the main Williams road. It was almost pain free too, until we got to those hills on the approach to Narrogin - ouch! We did think of Trevor and Tom doing the 5 Dams ride, for a few seconds.

Dennis is still stuck on his small chain ring - which is extra small because it is one of the new Ultegra compact rings - because no one in shops or online is stocking replacement large rings at the moment. You may remember that Dennis and his bike had a stack a few months ago. Dennis' broken wrist has repaired itself, but the bike is not so adaptable.

We averaged 30.5 km/hr for the 67 km. Not bad for Sunday riders!
