Hah! Yellow_Band, tha's the one!

Sadly when one has lung disease (proper) hills are definitely NOT best friends...they are there to potentially make one stop breathing...literally! However, efforts must be made to keep trying to get up them even if pushing the bike becomes the only option.

They will get easier Pajara...particularly if you don't have lung disease and continue in your progress in getting 'bike conditioned'. I can get up the 'inclines' around here much more easily than I did a year ago, although 'real hills' still defeat me for the above stated reason. Go you doing a 13.5!

Brilliant Sky Ride event today with 8km of the towns roads shut off to motorized traffic. It was fantastic to see so many folks riding, from young to old. However, it was quite dismaying to discover how many folks have no idea about riding bikes when there are other people around, let alone thousands of other people. After yesterday's ride again a killer head-wind I only managed a couple of circuits before retiring to one of my favourite cafe bars for beer in the sun with a good friend who's home from Spain for a couple of weeks.

I hope to have recovered sufficiently from yesterday's killer to manage a proper ride tomorrow.

Happy pedaling bikey-folks
