I’ve decided I need a new cycling challenge.<\/p>\n
I didn’t realise how much focus I’d put into the Degani Kinglake Ride until now. It’s a little hard at the moment to get out on the bike because I don’t really have a reason to. And to be honest, the weather isn’t particularly helpful. I’m feeling a few aches and pains because of the temperature shifts.<\/p>\n
But anyhoo… I decided this weekend, I need a new challenge. Something to focus on and get me moving again. Sooooooo, I’ve settled on the 156km version<\/a> of Scotty’s Ride<\/a>. At first I thought the climbs would be too much but it’s not as bad as I thought it would be. The first climb is the biggest and it’s no bigger than Kinglake. The challenge will be the distance. 156 kilometres is a long way. I’ll need to do some serious training if I want to finish the ride in a reasonable amount of time. Otherwise I’m looking at least seven hours on the bike. That’s a very long time. <\/p>\n So, yes – new challenge. Gotta get moving!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve decided I need a new cycling challenge. I didn’t realise how much focus I’d put into the Degani Kinglake Ride until now.
