Riding

Yesterdays ride was a casual ride mainly for a photo session with a hill that tested the legs. Todays ride was a bit different with a ten minute session at over 80% of max heart rate. It was quite a good effort to stretch the legs and test the fitness. A few more sessions of that should see the fitness jump right up.

Todays Ride

33 kilometers

Average speed – 23 kph

Time 1 hour and 28 minutes

While out on the road i met up with a guy who i rode with on the way back. A nice chap who is a teacher. He saw my Canada jersey so we had plenty to chat about on the ride back into town. With our cycling and travel we had plenty to keep the conversation flowing. He spent a year in the French Alps and found the lifestyle very relaxing compared to here. He said that the French seemed to endulge in a lot of things but moderately where as the Australians tend to choose one or two things and do it intensely. A very good point to ponder.
