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...
G'day,
I looked for you but couldn't see you.......I think this weeks coppers were newbies...they did a couple of strange things......they went beserk (lights, sirens, screaming over the PA) when we ran an amber down toward edithvale......a couple of times they actually tried to cause an accident, they would sit in the outside lane...going slightly faster than the bunch...as soon as anyone decided to draft them to the front...they'd slam on the brakes...bloody unsociable I reckon!. Geez it was quick...handlebar tape for brekky this week!, cos they've been slow for a few months....some peckerhead came off at Olivers...most got round him......but a few got caught up.....well that's 'hell rides' over for me for awhile......Warnie next week, ATB the following Sunday tthen I'm getting orf for awhile...looking forward to the rest!
cheers,
Hitchy
