I came in second Worldwide in the Feb distance Challenge. Congratulations to 1st place Ben Merritt who seems to knock off 1st place effortlessly many months while doing his regular rides for the fun of it. Good show the rest of you Participants.
What a ride you women riders! Good go Shirley Dodman my wife who placed 5th in Women Worldwide. I bet she'd get first if she tried hard, as she just did some of her regular daily distances.
No I didn't ride a camel during the Strava Challenge. But I did ride up along the Kwinana Bike Freeway where I stopped daily to throw these camels some fresh green grass. They were waiting for me at the fence.
I have to work hard to squeeze out a 200+ km ride. Yet some riders do it in a fraction of the time. here I stopped in South Perth along the Swan River to photograph these black swans taking the babies for a dip.
This huge lizard barred my way along the bike path. Same goes for a few poisonous snakes where I didn't stop for them to pose.
Funny the things that go through your head on long rides. Especially the songs that pop up. I started singing 'Ahab the Arab' by I think Roger Miller, an oldy. But I couldn't recall too many of the lines.
Shirley says that's her last Challenge for a while. I know I'll be back in a couple months after plans for riding in the USA are put together.
