A few photos from yesterday's ride - the Convict 100 www.convict100.com.au
Start line at 0630 - foggy and 4C - was not looking inviting...
...but a couple of hours later, looking good...
Trails were mainly smooth firetrail, so not exactly suited to a FS26 but it was a bike ride
the climbs were typical evil firetrail climbs - straight up, but the views with the blue skies provided a welcome distraction from the burning thighs...
And, it being Australia, the race not only started and finished at a pub, but was also sponsored by a brewery - in this case, my local, the 4 Pines, who also gave all finishers a bottle of Kolsch...

Had a week in a lovely cottage near Stratford-upon-Avon, managed to find time to have a nice 30 mile blast around the villages between Stratford and Evesham, used the Greenway cycle path on the way back to avoid a busy main road. Bike was great on the gravel even though it has 23mm slicks on 
Pretty flat but did find quite a big hill up to Hidcote, with a great 45mph descent down the other side.
