The undie-three-hundie

So... I managed a sneaky get away with Frank over the public holiday. He was pretty stoked because we haven't been spending quite so much quality time together lately. He performed well and enjoyed having his photo taken in front of dolphin infested waters, historic Wats and the odd mosque. Quite photogenic really!

As for me, I've dubbed this trip my 'undie-three-hundy' that's because I traveled just under 300km to get to Kratie, I took less 300 photos decent photos, I spent less than 300,000 real, and I probably released less than 300ml per day in pee riding in the 300 degree heat! Just incase you were wondering: there was no unneccsary burning of couches and no riots despite my sweet-sweet purple checkered cotton riding shirt that I insist on wearing to keep the sun off!

Anyway, here are a small selection of happy-snaps:

Problem cycling

Hello my name is Bethy and I'm a cycle-holic. Well... Maybe I'm not a cycle-holic but I do have binge cycling tendencies... Maybe I'm a problem cyclist. Sometimes my cycling interferes with my work... but only because I like to be picky about where I park! I find myself thinking about my bikes when I am at work and when I am at home. I like to spend my holidays and my spare time on my bicycle. I think I need to go in a binge *not a bender* soon! I'm getting the drys (need a nice new water bottle) and I'm feeling a little bit deflated (sand in my favourite pump and it lets all the air out), my hands are a bit shakey (silicone worn out in my 5-year-old cycling gloves) and I'm dropping dust everywhere I go (bike needs a good clean). Thankfully we have a public holiday coming up at the end of the week and I can indulge in a good spin, a good splat, a good whirl! I think I'll head up to Karatae and hang out there for a bit! Photos to follow!
