I had sore legs this morning when i got up to go for my ride, not just normal tired legs but sore legs which was a touch unusual, but anyway i soldiered out the door. The plan was 5+hours up and over the waitaks, but it wasn't to be. Just before getting to scenic drive i cracked for the first time, only 30kms into my ride, so I nailed my a brunch bar which is the only food i had...sweet I'm fuelled up. Then the whether turn to crap, major crap and i find myself at the piha turn off just in the box with what feels like hunger knock...not good!
Somehow i make it off scenic drive after not taking the bethels turn, with much guilt, in desperate need of anywhere that might sell food. Being a public holiday all thats open is 1 dairy so I pull in and park the bike, keen to make sure the locals don't tax my bike. The only thing appealing is a box of choc chip musli bars and boy did they go down well. I had half on the side of the road and pocketed the other half for later on.
Did bump into Stu not long after that, he was heading in the opposite direction but I turned around because i was in one of those moods where anthing was better than riding. After about 15minutes it was back on the bike and the glycogen levels had balanced out so it was a more enjoyable ride home. Did stop in a gordy's new shop which is very handily placed less than 1km from the wodden bridge on the bike path.
Ended up with 120 hard earned wind blown kms and went straight to bed for an hour...but im still in the box!
