Exams finished Friday, since which time my liver and sleep-cycle has copped an absolute pounding, thanks both to the end of year Cocktails and catching up with a good group of guys to watch the Windies v Australia at the Gabba.

Since exams I've been more than time-poor; I've played Club Cricket, moved house and driven some 600+ kilometres. I was planning on a jaunt up Palmwoods this morning, but even that failed to materialise.

So, a plan - roadmap, if you will - for the next fortnight; Palmwoods once, a long flat ride and a Triathlon on Sunday. Not exactly hill specific riding, thus far. Next week will be almost entirely off the bike, in Sydney. Running some hills each day will be on the cards and some good recovery time, too. Monday 14th will see a fresh attempt at the Razorback.

This is going to be a good, hard graft; 28 days remaining to ride!
