Notes
Good solid ride, starting from Alphington Sports Medical Centre, Heildelberg Rd, Northcote. Heaps in the group, waited for group from Pascoe Vale, then headed off. Some of the group going in different directions but ended up with 8 of us going to the top of Kinglake. Dave Ross had a least one flat, heard that he had a second flat and someone stayed with him. Six of us returned to Alphington.
Felt stronger than I did when first riding the Kinglake route two weeks ago. Riding the hills a little bit better, starting to climb out of the saddle and peddle up hill (sort of like recovery but still powering along). Consumed all my gel and nearly finished off two bottles of endura.
Was a tad cold, wore woolen gloves under normal gloves, didn't stop the chill. Toes also feeling the chill. On the descents the wind chill is certainly a factor, not sure how to address that.
