Our first (and last!) training ride over corrugations: Shane, Helen, Denise and Cooper take Argie Bargie 75km to Gundaroo return, via the dirt.
A miserable affair. Bitterly cold, strong wind. Our destination - a cafe or pub in Gundaroo for lunch - firmly closed. A miserable huddle over two muesli bars in Gundaroo's cute and quirky Picnic Area, along with 2000 lycra loving mosquitoes. Nothing more than one pair of leg warmers between 8 legs - Cooper wore both of them on his arms until his Dad rescued him at the 45km mark, when Denise and Helen greedily stole them - one jauntily modelled on each wind-facing arm.
"It's like holding a bl**dy jackhammer" Shane complains after 1km of corrugations, another 15km to go. "Whaaaat?" is the common refrain from Seat 3, Shane's voice carried away by the 50kph winds. "I'm COLD!" comes from Seat 4. Zip from Seat 2. We're all having SO much fun.
