Doing the 60km ride. I have a sneaking suspicion it&#8217;s going to be hillier than I think.<\/p>\n<p>3. And I&#8217;m going to sign up for another ride soon. This one is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vic.cycling.org.au\/?MenuID=Recreational%2F20073%2F17268%2F%2CScotty%40^039s_Ride%2F20340%2F35323%2F\" target=\"_blank\">Scotty&#8217;s Ride<\/a> and it goes past my parents&#8217; house! I have three weeks to learn as much as I can about riding in large groups. Eeep!<\/p>\n<p>4. I took Lisa in a for a service on Monday and they cleaned her chain. Hoorah! Something I&#8217;ve wanted to do but haven&#8217;t been able to because I don&#8217;t actually know how to get the chain off and I don&#8217;t have any degreaser anyway. I also have new brake pads.<\/p>\n<p>5. Right now I am rereading <em>Ultimate Spider-man<\/em>. I&#8217;m on a huge super-hero kick at the moment. No idea why.<\/p>\n<p>6. Umm&#8230; yeah.<\/p>\n<p>7. I&#8217;ve trashed my macbook&#8217;s battery. Turns out I shouldn&#8217;t have been using the charger from a white macbook as it&#8217;s 65W and mine is 85W. D&#8217;oh! So, I suppose I&#8217;ll have to put off my cycling purchases to acquire a new battery. Better to spend $200 on a new battery then $2500 on a new computer.<\/p>\n<p>8. There&#8217;s a package waiting for me at the post office. Hoorah! New tyres and new bike knicks.<\/p>\n<p>9. Gee, anyone would think I&#8217;m more than a little obsessed with cycling at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>10. I&#8217;m now doing three rides a week. Tuesdays is Kew Boulevard, Thursdays is the GP circuit and Sundays is Black Rock. Covering all the basics &#8211; hills, riding techniques and bunch riding.<\/p>\n<p>11. Tired now.
