Base Training

Three hours on Thursday with a visit to Castle Hill.
Three hours on Friday via the back of Blacktown.
One hour and a half with the Tri Club on Saturday, medium speed with one long high speed sprint mid ride.
Two hours on Sunday, mixed speeds, riding from the city via North Parramatta.
With the GT out for a week, I returned my X-Fusion Velvet fork to Duncan from DIY MTB for a checkup. The Velvet has been on my racing bikes the GT and Canaan on since Easter and Duncan commented that it is in great nick. A complementary change of oil and the fork has been refitted to the GT to race again.
One of the issues with the last race was the damaged jockey wheels. A new set of Enduro Jockey Wheels have been fitted to GT. The jockey wheels house some of the best bearings Enduro create, I just have to ensure the rest of the bike is as friction free.
Was reminded yesterday about how nice the feeling is to suck in a bug or two during a night ride. Cough, swallow, cough-cough, nope he went down.
