Greendale - What a blast!

10th of July I rode Greendale Jaunt permanent. It was one of the harder days I have spent on the bike for a very long while. The wind out of the west was gale force for most of the day reducing my speed to a mere 12kph when it was in my face. I was drowned in an hour of torrential rain towards the end of the ride. As the ride drew to a close in sodden clothes I was chilled to the bone. This ride is reasonably challenging in good conditions as you climb through both the Brisbane Ranges and the Pentland Hills but the conditions really toughened it up. Finishing was most satisfying. I will remember that 10 hrs 10 mins for a while.

The wind was blasting across the Werribee Plains
