48 Days to Go!

I get a shock when I log on and see the number of days to go!!!! For the past couple of weeks I have been riding from Jindalee to Southbank via a bike pathway along the Centenary Highway and Brisbane River.  It is dotted with some challenging hills, a couple of which I am yet to conquer! A few people have suggested I fit myself out with Cleats..........
This is now the next day Monday 19th July,  I conquered one of the hills yesterday - yippee!
One down one to go!  Off again today!
Now as for the Cleats, not me, I am aware that it could create a fall if I don't get my foot undone quick enough!  What I did purchase were pedals with straps that you slip your foot into! They are good to pedal with once you get your foot in!  But alas they can also cause you to fall, which I did!  Ah well!
Also downloaded a new IPhone App called Rider Log, it is an excellent app apart from the fact it chews up the Battery.  The App has a GPS and tracks your speed and directions, great idea.
