My Three Dams Challenge #6 is done! 2 April 2017 This 145km event in the Perth Hills is always hard and it got very hot on the road but I enjoyed the ride despite the suffering! (What is it with cyclists and suffering?) What’s more, look how full the dams are! #winning 🚲😎🌄

@fatgirlgetsfitatlast tagged me to SDS today so here’s selfie from work. My clients are always asking how far I rode at the weekend and this morning I was able to produce a medal commemorating yesterday’s hot and hilly 146km.

Tagging @shufflingalong @runningmyownrace @emilydoesscience @eugeneslost @this-incredible-journey if you want to play along.

Happy Snaps From Sunday 2 April 2017 Last night I was too tired to post more than one photo from my 2017 Three Dams Challenge effort, so here are some more happy snaps from the day.

It was hot, it was hilly, the roads were rough but I was up to the challenge and enjoyed a tough, satisfying day with like-minded friends and friendly strangers.

I Am Ready 1 April 2017 I’ve put in the training, I’ve studied the course, the bike is ready, the kit is compiled, ride food and drink are prepared, breakfast is made, I am hydrated and fuelled. All that remains is a decent sleep before the 3 Dams Challenge tomorrow at dawn! 🚲😎🚲 #dams17 #winning #145km

Eeek! Two More Sleeps! 31 March 2017 I am getting hyped for 3 Dams on Sunday already! 😁 Four of us Dam Fine Ladies recce’d the finish route this morning - a 17km doddle followed by a two-hour breakfast! 😂 I picked up my race pack (the commemorative jersey fits nicely) and studied the route some more. No Friday night wines for me and I gotta say Kombucha is no substitute for chardonnay, even if the tumeric & carrot version matches the jersey! 😒 #winning 🚲🌄🚲
