Pretty pleased with myself so just thought I would share this (aware that self-praise is no praise at all). After a 7:27 and 7:25 in the last couple of weeks, the stars finally aligned themselves in the forms of Northern Nick and Jonno who provided the best lead out train possible up Mundaring Weir Rd this morning. They had done the right thing by smashing themselves and me all over the preceding climbs, especially around Paulls Valley Rd, and had worn themselves down by the last climb. They let me sit on because a) I have a son the same age as Nick, b) I might be marking Nick’s Year 12 WACE English exam at the end of the year, c) Jonno is a well-brought up young man and d) I couldn’t go fast enough to get in front of them (with all of that surge-surge-surge business) until the final rise after the false flat.
The garmin data for the ride (including the club ‘record’ split 2) is here: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/70291302

PS Sato had the best logged time on that segment: http://app.strava.com/segments/608776, but you whomped all over that 🙂
7:13!!!! great work.
My time was 7:30 today.
I just needed someone to break some
wind for me 😉
Sato hang out the back .. plenty of people breaking wind there.
I know one of these days you will crack a 7min flat and not even broken a sweat. Great work
i’m more interested in seeing the average heart rate for that effort. 145bpm maybe???
Probably less than my resting HR
30.4 km/hr uphill is not normal Mr. B. Seek help.
Bloody good effort though, and yes evidently if a PB falls in the forrest we all hear about it 😉
Well done Mike, I have no idea what we have to do to keep up with you on a hill…maybe ride a motorbike. And I’m with Pete – I want to know your average HR for that section.
Great effort Mr B. You no doubt didn’t have to put up with all the hot heads in their rev buckets, as we did on the short ride this morning, although Sato managed a 7.30.
I can’t update the table and points page. Keep getting error messages about not enough memory. Any assistance would be helpful.

Good work. I’m jealous.
inspirational riding.
