What an awesome day for a cycle this morning. I set off down to Devonport via Fitzwilliam Hill and East Coast Road, through The Strand at Takapuna. Here I abused Sam, Ashley and baby Willow for holding up the traffic as they crossed the road! I have to say it was lovely to stop and have a chat and enjoy the magnificent view of Takapuna Beach. I carried onto North Head in Devonport where I stood and contemplated life before heading back to Torbay via The Naval Base, Bayswater, Takapuna and Beach Road. I have to say that Beach Road is getting easier. I'm not any faster, I don't think, but it is getting easier. I have to remind myself to dig it in as it is very easy to drift off into dreamland!

There may have been a few car accidents and pedestrians being blinded today. Because it was such a nice day I wore my bike shorts instead of 3/4 bike pants. My legs matched my white base layer perfectly.....
Next time I head off for a cycle I need to get sorted before I leave the property. I forgot my gloves so had to turn around and go back. I also forgot deodorant, sunblock for my face AND when I looked at my bare legs, I hadn't shaved in a couple of days.... well maybe more than a couple! Nice :-)
