Comments:

What can I say, I loooooove this ride. I did it last year as well. All the roads are closed for us, theres no pedestrians, we have right of way at crossings, theres nothing to do but just pedal, pedal, pedal :)

What would you do differently?:

I'm really happy with my performance, I beat my own time from last years ride by 14mins, and I averaged 25km/hr which I have NEVER done before. Can't complain. My goal for next year is to get a sub-2hr time :)

Warm down:

Stayed back for 30 mins chatting to friends, then went out for breakfast in Leederville. Yum!
