Smurfing

The equinox, a month of wind and changeable weather. Yesterday I went for a ride, my fitness and strength are somewhat pitiful at the present time. On my struggle out to Puketutu Island, across the causeway, into a SW blast, I held at kingly 18 kph and endured an HR of 173bpm. Who needs to ride hills with that sort of stupidity.

The crossing of the Mangere Bridge was fun, with gusts and sideways movements. Nothing like the day I was silly enough to ride and race in similar conditions around Akarana's Mangere Mountain circuit with a Tri-Spoke rear and Cosmic front. Handling was a little testing to say the least.

Anyway, here's something very graceful.
