I'm Back

I am back on the bike after six weeks off. A few reason that I decided to take the break.

1. Very Long, hard season of racing
2. Exams for school
3. Moving to Brisbane
4. Becoming sick.

I found that at the end of October I was becoming sick more often and that I was overly tired. With no break since November last year It had almost been a whole year of competitive raced all down the Australian east coast. So the break was need to refresh my self. With end of year exams at school I didn't want to so drained from training that I was asleep during my exams. Last I am in the process of moving to Brisbane and have limited access to bikes was making hard to train.

So the last couple of days I have been success full in being up at 4:45am to jump on the bike a pedal around. First day back (Sunday) my mate thought that my fitness would be good enough to get up over Mt.Nebo big mistake for a come back. Was riding ok I guess but my legs just didn't want to climb for the time that is needed to get over the Mountain. I was able to get to some lookout and then we headed back into town. We headed into the city to do the half river loop. which I must say is one of the best rides that I have ever done. which meant that Monday the full river loop was going to be tested. Again I felt fine on the flats and descending was quick, but just not the endurance to keep me going as a good speed. I average 30km per hour from home around the rive and back which is ok I guess... don't really know what most people do? so I will have a break today probably go for a swim and then do another 2 days. 2days on 1 day off should be fine to get back into it.
