Darling Downs to Claremont
Dodgy HR reading starting off. Gentle breeze, I think it was a tailwind down Rowley Rd and a slight headwind heading up the freeway. Some guy came past after I got on the freeway path so I went with him, eventually he eased up a bit so I went in front and he didn't bother jumping on.
I was making good time till the Leach Hwy detour/lights then spent the rest of the ride trying to catch up, but didn't quite get there.

Claremont to Darling Downs
Felt like I hadn't done many full & both ways commutes lately, apparently this is only the second since Nov. Should be back to nearly every Friday again now.
Got behind Mr Race Wheels at the narrows and sat behind till he got up to silly speed (40 kph into the wind) and I let him go. I was on par approaching Leach Hwy, but after the lights had to make up time so went hard and finally get back on par at Tonkin Hwy and by some miracle I got a green light so smashed through to the end.

Just Chris and I to start at the bus stop, Karl joined in down the hill and I successfully discouraged them from waiting for the main group at 6am.
Hoped to just sit on the back for as long as possible to just try to spin some soreness out of the legs.
Held on till around Leighton where the speed cranked up with a couple of other riders in the fray. The Clough boys were well out of sight by the time I got to the lights at North Freo, so I just plodded along and took the short cut to avoid the water tower climb and managed to come back onto the normal route just behind Chris and Karl who let me catch up again.
The boys let me stay in contact after that so I didn't resort to a plod all the way back to floreat, but didn't put too much effort in.
