Motukarara

Not such a nice morning sadly, cold and a tad windy. But didn't bother Hannah as I, as we were home, while Adam and Mum were out at tennis.

We played monopoly deal, trimmed some grass, wedded some of the potato patch (growing very poorly), picked some cape gooseberries, and made some jam. And truly awesome jam it was too. Just under a kilo of berries, made 4 small pots. But oh so yum!

Lunch, then some bike maintenance, and then on my bike. The goal, Motukarara and back.

Slight head wind on the way out, but made it out there in 1 hr 10, then a light tail wind on the way back. All up, 50km and 2 hrs 9. Did a slight diversion to have a look at the Otahuna berry farm

Felt pretty good, but had a hard job keeping heart rate in the right zone. Just wanted to go too fast. Tried these little guys, yum!

Training is starting well, pressure is on to keep it going!
