Yeah Bathurst has got some good riding roads but a lot of very ****ty ones. Like the one I rode today out to Fremantle and back. Farking thing was never flat. Shat me to tears. You're right though. It is a good run out to O'Connell. Out to there then back to town through the Lagoon is my normal afternoon training run. At least it's got some flat sections. (Me likes flats).

Nah Mt Pan is a great ride. Straights aren't dull since you're either grunting up them wondering how you're going to go when it gets steep, or flying down them at a gazzillion miles an hour. Tip for those who get out to ride it, try going around it backwards a few times. The climb to the top is much harder, but the left hand corner that leads back onto mountain straight (normally the right off it) is a farking beauty! 80 km/h with the bike cranked over like a MotoGP bike. It's crazy fun.
And have a good new years fellas. I rekon with a ride in the morning I might just break 5k for the year.
BTW, anyone know how to capture an image of the graphs made by Polar software? Thought I'd post some pics of how much of a ***** I am, and how sh
itty some of the rides around here are. But the normal PrtScr then paste into some image software doesn't work. Farkin Polar. Who cares if someone who spent up big on their products wants to show people how lazy they are?
