An epic ride

Yesterday Brad and I set out on an epic adventure through out Brisbane’s suburbs. The ride started from Gap creek, and dirt was short lived as we headed off to Chain Gang bikes for brad to repair his bike. On the way the pace was high with brad smashing me through the traffic and up the hill through Kenmore. I almost got lost and brad went of to the left and I went to the right at the over past near the highway I was about 100m close to mixing it up with the traffic on the highway. I manage to catch up as he stopped at the lights and waited. At the lights too was one of the Merida Road team riders and we thought I would be funny to draft behind him for a while. We sat behind him at about 40kph for about 5min till he looked behind to see two teenagers on Mountain Bikes sitting on his wheel. He dropped us as he turned off the other direction then what we were going. Brad and I have a laugh about it that we could keep up with a Roadie on a Pro team. We got to store and got new break pads for brad, and then headed to NRG cycles to catch up with Gav and Erin. Must say that NRG is got to be one of the busiest bike shops in the world. Talked to Gav for a while and he showed me some new red skewers that we be put onto my bike for the new racing season. Erin had quick look at my forks and than Brad and I headed off to Gap to tear up the dirt. We were on the road just going threw Kenmore shops as out of the corner of our I we saw a young bird waiting at the bus stop. Thought I would show off and ride pass up the hill with no hands on the handle bars, and say the smoothest line in the world… hey, How U doing…. I think she was impressed pity brad kept riding otherwise I would have had a date for the night. We got back to the dirt and then found a good trail that we when up and down on. I helped brad with some of his line choices and getting up some more tech climbs. Saw Pooly and his dad out there which was good. Brad and I headed off home after stopping of for milkshakes, pretty tasty. Was around 80km by the time I got home and was a hard day in the heat. No pictures cause brad forgot his camera for the first time ever…. Going to ride Mt. Nebo tomorrow which should be another hard day in the saddle.
