Stayed up late watching the ever-so-promising, but ultimately grindingly-boring, World Cup game between Portugal and Brazil and so missed riding with Tania up to Katoomba this morning. The roadworks through Lawson can now be circumnavigated using new bike/foot paths but Wentworth Falls is still problematic. Cold and drizzly from there up but 2.5 hours up was pretty good going and a total of 73km.
I fitted the V-Strom brake pads and then did a hills run with two laps of Sun Valley and one lap of Endeavour Drive for a hilly total of 31km. The new Continental tyres are superb and finally I have a speedo which works reliably - its a Sigma BC1106 from CellBikes online. A wired one with good contrast for reading by my failing short eyesight.
We also did another test ride at night to the shops at Winmalee the other night to make sure all our lights are OK - Tania's Petzl helmet light is as bright as any car headlight.
