Annual Bike Ride - It Rocked!!!

Yeah Baby!

This weekend was the Annual Warburton Bike ride... except that it was from Geelong to Queenscliff this year. What a weekend! Despite having to make a 7am rise on Saturday (who gets up that early on a Saturday!? - although I have to admit to a most scrumptous lie in until 7.30 ;P), it was completely divine. By the end of Saturday the things that hurt the most were not my cycling legs, but my cheeks from grinning too much :D

Thanks for Geordie for organising such a successful weekend, and especially for organising the sublime weather. The 2am, 3am & 4am wake up call care of the football team camping next to us is all but forgotten. Two days of 30ish deg. C days... light breeze and completely blue skys. The trail was relatively flat and the scenery was gorgeous. The beach on the Saturday arvo was the perfect antidote to a morning of hard work - crystal clear water to float, swim and contemplate in and soft sand to snooze on. Even the semi-sprint on the Sunday trip home was enjoyable! As was the flat tyre in the last 5km which 2 handsome men fixed for me!!

And the company... well, that was the best part.
Thanks guys :) It was awesome!
