I skimped in this mornings ride a bit. While Dyso, Craig and Pete were out braving the hills and headwinds of the cuby circuit, I did a 35 km trip from the farm to town to meet the boys at the cemetery to join them for a bit of the highbury circuit. I tried for a quick 35 as my next cycling event is a 37km time trial as part of the Coastal Clash, a multisport event to be held at Lancelin in a fortnight. The easterly blowing in my face on the way to Highbury wasn't helpful so a bit hard to guage progress.
I got to the cemetery in good time and had time to chat to the Naturalist Club members who were there to pick up rubbish as part of a clean up Australia thingo. I told them I thought Naturalists were supposed to be picking up rubbish in the nude, but they said that was a slightly different club. Luckily the boys turned up and saved me from the full explaination.
We headed out Tarwonga rd until the Hay Sheds of sargeants, where I left them to it and headed on to the farm, leaving the boys to plough into the Highbury Headwinds which had doubled in strength since I did it an hour before. My ride was a lazy sixty, with the main group doing 90.
My justification was tennis later in the day. Good fortune smiled and th highbury tennis clubs best player drew me as a partner for the doubles championchip. He has strong shoulders and was able to carry me through undefeated, so I now have a tennis trophy to go alongside my ponyclub rosette from a fortnight ago (thats another story). Two most unlikely occurances
