.......hmmmm, can only assume that Wattsy choked on his Weetbix......seeing as he wasn't there!......which was probably just as well.....the boys were 'cooking'...quickest its been for months...41.6kph ave....we had 2 current Aus champs keen to show off the new Green & gold stripes!....yiou know it's fast when everyone is strung out single file!!!...I got 'round ....just...a very helpful red light into canadian Bay Rd!......
I was there!!! I got to Le Nicks and had to buy a tube so stood in line until just before the lads shot off. I was even in the top 1/3 of the riders until the coppers (FARKEN
PR*CKS) herded everyone into the back of a parked car. Wattsy looked up just in time to see everyone jumping on the brakes and then went spearing off onto the footpath. I bunny hopped the curb but then hit the concrete path with the back wheel. About 1k further I heard 'POP...pppfffftttt....pppfffftttt and noticed everyone was looking at me. I looked down to see my tyre was going flat and then looked up to see the back of the pelaton riding away...wattsy's hell Ride was over after exactly 6.55km's.
It was a lonely ride to Sorrento from there...
