An old coach with a new contract...Two cycle rides this weekend, inspired by Monica and Paul's lengthy ride in New York.
THE coach has agreed to take me on again under his strict conditions - the 5-1 ratio. Five rides solo earns one ride, plus coffee, plus breakfast with THE coach. He completed his first commitment by showing me a safe ride through Wareemba and out to Breakfast Point, 24Kms in all. Yesterday we rode together, today I did 22 Kms alone.
This morning's solo ride was most pleasant - still water, few people, even fewer dogs and no magpies. Two interesting sights - a man fishing from a canoe and, an elderly gentleman doubling his equally elderly wife sidesaddle, as they returned with bags of groceries alone the bikepath around Canada Bay.
So the goal this week, two rides alone so THE coach has to ride with me next weekend.

Short term goal - Homebush cyclepath by the end of the October holidays.
Long term goal - Cycling in France, July 2010
