Jeff Shaw and Michael Villani – main drag, Gembrook
I’ve spent the latter half of my Sunday relaxing with that 6am-er feeling in my legs. With the Mt. Burnett/Gembrook loop under the belt, many could not be blamed for sleeping off the rest of their day.
I was challenged by Taylo this morning as to when my last 6am-er Sunday was. We got chatting and wondered if it was even Christmas time last year. How incredibly disgraceful!
Well it’s not quite that bad. For the record:
- 18/03 – King Lake
- 22/01 – Gembrook
Still, three 6am-er Sundays to 10 June is a pathetic record and I hereby beg for forgiveness. I blame holidays, injuries and the odd calisthenics “priority” engagement for my sins.
This mornings ride reminded me of what I have been missing out on. Brilliant riding and magnificent company. All on two wheels… “good for the soul” says my Alpine Cycling Club president. How could I possibly disagree.
Thanks guys for providing such a grouse Sunday morning. I love youse all.
(Here’s today’s route – 115km with over 1600m of climbing)

Good to have you back and the way you were riding it looked like you had never been away.

Thanks mate. Those 5%ers make me look good! Any more and the reversing beeper definitely gets started.
Looking forward to being a bit more regular for the remainder of the year!
