Family Bike Ride

Broke in the new bike today on the standard blast around Manly Dam in Sydney's northern burbs. I haven't done the ride since before my old bike was stolen so it was great to get out there on what Kacper appropriately calls the Family Bike Ride.



I christened the bike properly just as we were coming towards the end of the loop when I came across a small lady with a very large dog standing right in the riding line at that part of the track. I popped over a rock to get around her and saw, just as I hit the point of no return, the muddy hole that my front wheel was about to rest in and the piece of track my face was about to rest on as I went over the bars. She was very apologetic but didn't offer any practical assistance such as taking the bike off my head. Glad I bought the lighter one.

Heading to Dubai on Wednesday for 8 days work then continuing on for a quick lap through the US and back to Sydney on May 7th.
