So HDT, is the fox in the hole?

Tough ride today. Started out in freezing conditions in Maitland and finished with a 35km dash into a fargin gale. Went to Kooragang to do a local race only to find out it was a round of the Masters Cup today.

After brekky at Leo's it was into that goddamned headwind again. Slowed down to check on the welfare of a teary eyed girl who had missed her bus and was walking along the Pathetic Hwy in the middle of nowhere all by herself, and for a gal who picked a real bad day to have her "first ride in a long while". She looked tired from 1km back!! Never seen anyone with the tired wobbles so bad. She laid a kitten when I cruised up and sed gday, but stoicly opted to complete the last 5km of her ride without assistance. What a gal!

Sorry Kotter, was going to ring and wake you up but you would not have had fun on the ride to Maitland today. Was sheer hell. Sad thing is, I actually enjoyed it.
