Kiwani's Bike-a-thon

Another lengthy bike ride - this time from East End blowholes to Smiths Cove. Shorter than the one two weekends ago (32 km's vs 36km's ), but no stops this time. The new Trek was pretty key though. I don't think riding the Huffy would have been pleasant. Took me 1hr 15 mins -> Wow! 25.6 km's per hour - major speed wobble. Of course I now want to try and do it in an hour, but slowly slowly catch a monkey. The new bike is also an ATB, so probably won't be able to match those guys on the ultra light racing bikes. Maybe I'll buy one at some point if this becomes more serious.

You know i was just thinking (I know, I've been warned about that by NASA; my brain waves interfere with their satellites), that you could use my 125CC Gilera Sports bike next time you decide to go to Rum Point. It's much better then huffing and puffing a sweat on that bike of yours; not a pretty sight dear I say.
