Tony and I are quite chuffed at the moment, having completed the Bay to Bay run in both directions today (Homebush Bay to Botany Bay and return) 53 kilometres in all, over 3 and 1/2 hours riding at just under 16km per hour average speed. We headed off from Silverwater Bridge at 9.14am and got back to the starting point at 1.04pm, so we had about 20 minutes worth of breaks over the time. In between times we were up and down hills - long, steady climbs and short, steep slopes (which we got to ride down in the opposite direction). At one stage, I got the bike going at 48 kilometres an hour (downhill and not for long, of course).
We agreed we'd have a rest day tomorrow (Monday), but I might just go for a short run to shake out some of the cobwebs from today (I can still feel my knees and backside, as I'm typing)
