A great bit of weather

We all now how nice sunny days seem to make everything easier and riding a bike certainly fits in with the sentiment exactly.

This week my riding has taken me over a road i have not used since last year ,It goes along the coast from matarangi to kuaotunu,it's gravel but hard packed and even on my 23m wide race tyres not too much of an issue.

At this time of the year the water is usually very clear, obviously the water temp has dropped but still it would be great diving conditions

Today i did 50km on my new bike, it's a singlespeed rocket. Why no gears i hear you ask? You didn't ask? well i will tell you,Having only one gear forces you to peddle at a faster rate or leg speed which is great for the heart and lungs without building honking great thigh muscles.
Also it breaks up the training routine and it sure lets you know you have a pair of legs!
