A casual ride out

Well I was convinced by Nick to head out for a casual moutain bike ride and take in the heights and tracks of Mt Cootha just outside Brisbane. Well lets just say that there was nothing casual about nearly passing out several times on the way up!

The heat from the tarmac was oppressive and I was riding between shade stopping about five times on the 2 km ride up the steep hill. never have I been in so much pain with the humid heat.

Saying all that at least I made it....and made the cafe rich through purchasing several bottles of Gatorade ad water!
