Morpeth Bike Ride

Rode to Morpeth today for a Sunday ride. Went a total of 80kms. We practised a style of group riding called pace riding where we ride in two lines with the left line riding slower than the other. The fast or pace line leader rides past the slow line leader and then moves left into the slow line. At the back the last slow line rider joins the pace line and moves forward. This circular pattern allows the group to move faster and at the same time give riders a break. We had an hilarious time trying to perfect this with lots of gaps and stuffups, plenty of ride leaders to dictate what should and shouldn't happen showing that we need to a lot more practice and of course get a lot more serious if we want to do it properly.

Whale Watching

Jenny won a whale watching cruise at a function we went to last year and we kept putting it off untill the last minute. So we had to go this weekend or lose the ticket. So we went out to Nelson's Bay and checked out the whales. Actually saw whales but not as galmorous a trip as you would expect.
