Well, I am back to the early starts. Was up at 0430 this morning so I could go out and get some training in. Met up with Sandra, Mark, Suz, Mick and at least dozen more riders for out Tuesday morning sprint intervals at Nundah. It was the biggest group so far, and really it was to big for the track and the number of other groups using the same track. Maybeb not too big but the difference in cycling fitness and ability was huge. So it was a struggle to get a some consistant effort in. The fitter in the group had a tendancy to spend longer on the front at effort and then slot into the paceline to fill the gaps that appeared, then hitout at the end of the five laps for the sprint against who ever was still holding on. I enjoy these sessions as I get to catch up with friends and get a solid sprint session in.
Tomorrow maybe Mt Nebo, depends on time.
Stolen silence, yeah thats right. The kids are home and they have made their presence felt already. the dog has been cuddled and is now hiding, the neighbours kids have already been visited and been brought back to my house to play. Then fed. My daily moments of peace and quiet have been stolen and gone forever. Well, until the next school holidays.
Despite my ramblings, I have missed the kids and it is good to have then home.

A quiet day
Well, Today has been a quiet day spent with my son, Rohan. So lets start with this morning.
My wonderful kids let both Emma(my wife) and I sleep in. They are the best kids ever. Then when I got up at around 0730, which is a sleep in for us, I had coffee #1. Then after some Bacon and eggs for brekkie coffee #2.
Decided it was time to go get the other car from work, so off we went. There was some soldier at work wandering around no shirt on, no shoes on, and talking on his phone. A big no-no so I got up him and will report him to his supervisor/commander on Monday.
Then Rohan and I went home and kicked the footy in the yard, until he kicked it over the neighbours fence. So out came the soccer ball, and we played soccer.
Emma and Eilish(my daughter) have had a day at the shops collecting bargains and just doing girly things. Honestly I am so much trouble when Eilish gets older.
But they have had fun.
As for bike stuff today, not a great deal. I managed to sit down and watch Stage 7 of the Tour of California (ToC) on the free2view menu on http://www.cycling.tv/.
Really would have loved to have caught up with Groover, AMR, Whitey, Rhino, and all the Zupps crowd this morning for a ride and then more coffee, but I think fixing my shoulder is more important ATM. Maybe next weekend.
Tomorrow I think I might be able to get on the wind trainer, which will be good. Just see how my shoulder feels in the morning.
My shoulder has felt relatively good today. If I move the arm slowly there is no discomfort in the shoulder. But if I move it quickly in a pulling action, similar to pulling shoelaces, it really hurts again and then aches for while. the pins and needles in my little finger are still an issue. Although very faint it is noticeable and it is a concern as it indicates some nerve damage.
Time for another coffee.
Anyway until next time Safe riding and make the most of every situation.
