A bunch of bike riders who worship the journey and the coffee at the end more then their cycling image, some of them even have beards!

lunchtime laps of crazy hill, out for 10

Time to take my cycling a little more seriously and what better way but to resurrect this blog. It has been a long while of reading that has missed being documented. As the CCCC criterium season is about to kick off, I thought some extra strength training would be worth while. My best option near work is Yarra St in Kew off Yarra Boulevard (the boulevard a popular training circuit for lots of Melbourne cyclists). Yarra St is a hidden gem of intense climbing, over 16% average gradient for a short sharp 320m distance

this is how the expectations of how many laps I would do where voted on at http://dcyder.com/and the proof is in the pudding with photos up on flickr, all 10 of them for the 10 climbs

and 10
