Speaking of riding, first ride of the new year sucked for the most part. Started out late due to NYE stuff, and the wind had already kicked in. Flatted in the middle of friggin nowhere with no shelter from the sun. Nice

After fixin the flat was left with superheated water and gogo juice: blech! So had to ride for an hour with undrinkable bidons and mega-burning feet to get back to civilisation (McDonalds) to get some ice.

Only good point was averaging 71.6kmh on the flat through Rutherford. Gotta love a good tailwind.
