Wheels to Dereel

An easier weekend was called for so I set off at around 7am for a 100k permanent that inclines gradually for 30 odd k across the plains towards Mt Mercer. The negative to this was a headwind of significant proportions slowing my pace to 20 kph and below. A few undulations and a gradual loss of elevation through Dereel and Rokewood Junction before hitting the main road for a glorious and rapid downwind 50k back to Teesdale. On reaching home my cool down consisted of a gentler 10k ride with Carol around the town. This brings my Audax tally for the year to 6300k.
