Sydney to the Gong

Ok so here we go, last challenege of year 2009!

So Team Nepal has piked out on the Sydney to Woolongong ride this Sunday! So gutted I am!! However I will persist and continue with our goals. The ride this Sunday is 90kms in total from start to finish, a pretty full on ride.

So here's a copy of the map of the ride, not the greatest pic but you get the idea!
Will fill everyone in on the gruelling task ahead. I also bought a bike with the hope and inspiration that my love for cycling will continue into the years to come. Will have to post a pic of this beautiful piece of machine at a later stage!!!

SPRING CYCLE

omg!!!! 

so it turns out that cycling 40kms is actually hard work- who would have thought?

Didn't help that we were cycling into the wind the whole time; a wind that got so strong we nearly got blown off our bikes!

So i really should have prep-ed a little better for this...

Alicia was a gun, and brennan, despite her claims for disliking the activity was never far behind her.

Me (ktp) on the other hand was the slow one.  At one point was 30mins behind them.

My legs kept cramping up, and there just seemed to me hills followed by more hills.

By the time we made it to our first lunch stop at rhodes, i was ready to quit.  But after a non satisfying lunch of salad roll and dry choc cake (just missed out on the sausage sizzle), they convinced me to keep going.

So after like 5hrs of cycling we finally made it to the finish line, but they had just deflated it :(

Then for second lunch and massage!!! and ice cream! and home! and bath! and bed!!
