went out early this morning and did the freo river loop. rode on my own into a moderate southerly headwind, but was going ok (still struggle up some of the "hills"). Eventually got picked up by a bunch on Melville Pde (turned out it was Bike Force Freo mob). I hopped on the back and stayed in the bunch until we got to UWA. Along the way we did Mt Henry and Shelley Loops, before heading down Manning Road and cutting across to Canning Hwy. Pace was pretty quick (mid 30s) until they hit Riverside Drive (40s) and then Mounts Bay (various >35) into the breeze.
At UWA the mob went left and i carried on into Subi and then went out Cambridge Street to the Boulevarde, down to the coast and then up the coast to Wild Fig Restaurant. the total trip took just on 3 hours.
Overall i felt really good and i was still going along quite nicely on my own going up the coast rode. Fitness has definitely improved, strength is getting better every ride and all i need to do now is lose some weight so the hills are no longer a problem.
Met the girls for breakfast - had a great eggs benedict. Put the bike on the back of the car and came home.
255km down.
