Go the lycra twins!
Yesterday was The Big Bike ride in Perth and Anke & Annika went on the 53k jaunt together. It was their first serious ride and they did so well... especially considering the thousands of other bikes they had to negotiate their way through! They finished together in just over 2 hours... without mishap I'm glad to say.
They're interesting lot - the serious riders... especially the guys with their 'click clack' shoes and shaved legs. I'm not sure I could ever get that serious about it but I could probably be talked into a pair of padded shorts - I managed to ride from our place in Rivervale to the Start/Finish line down on the foreshore (also without mishap!) and could feel it in my rear end in that short distance so god knows how my arse would cope with a 53k ride! Annika's boyfriend Ian did the 106K route (in under 3 hours I might add!) and he assures me "you get used to it". His seat feels like you're sitting on a brick and he says mine is too soft... I but I think I'll just take his word for it!
