A Hard 106km
Yesterday, I drove down to Hobart to participate in “THE BIG RIDE”. It is 106km very hilly and bloody windy ride through the Margate area. A mate told me that the ride was hilly and you have to climb a few mountains but I wasn’t expecting it to be as hard as it was.
For the first 50km, I stayed in the first pack and then the hills and mountains started to eat at me and eat at me. Each hill and mountain steeper and longer then the last. It was by far the hardest thing I have ever done.
In the last 20km, I really hit a wall, I had nothing, all I could do is to just stay behind other riders and let them take me back.
It was a really good ride, I haven’t had to push myself that hard before and I can’t wait till next year so I can have another crack at it.

Great achievement Tim. Did you train for it or just wing it.Would be interesting to set it as a goal for yourself for this year to train for the ride and see how much of a difference your training for it could make. That is if you didn't train for this ride of course.
