I did a minor breakthrough with a 40km ride with Machka along one of our favorite farm country routes in our home state of Tasmania. Averaged a smidge over 17km/h which is OK on our English Thorn Club Tour bikes on a route that is part of one our organised Audax events.

That's the longest I have covered on a ride since late last March, compared with the 300km randonnee earlier that month. Weather is lovely sunny here and fortunately the strong winds have eased.

I am really looking to breaking the 50 and 100km marks in a while.
