Day 7 www.manlyfire.org.nz 10 day challenge
I was looking forward to this one _ a challenge that well, wasn’t really going to be a challenge and a chance for a little relaxing on the bike. Took a early ride down to the marina at 5:30am and to look for my launch again – alas still on it’s way but I’m a very patient person. Cycled a little on the walkways in between the launches just for a nosey – only one charter getting ready for this morning that I could see, Diversity all closed up – Chris having a sleep in?
We had Driving Miss Daisy as the front vehicle and Manly Fire “assisting” all on route. I had a distinct advantage over everyone as my bike had racing slicks on while the others were all fat-tyre mountain bikes, many I could see under-inflated tyres which would be great on the beach or parks, but not great on a road trip. Took the opportunity to ride in front-middle-back just really pottering around between people. Lead group went on and sat for a chat with Max Brown, Keagan’s teacher – we assisted a mini-breakdown and left them at the hill to go off to take a pic or 2.
All in all a calm, warm & sunny 16deg morning and just perfect for a 10+km cycle
