OFEL no. 2


Melissa, Kelly,Michele and Rob. Photographed by April
Sunday 11th October, the second trip to Kaos was a nice fine day, with kickoff at 10.30am from OSPA. I borrowed my sons bike for the ride, it didn't have any gears! I was slow on the flat, but could peddle up each of the 4 hills without stopping!
Enthusiasts today were Rob, Michele, Kelly, myself, and our very own groupie...April. April is our groupie because she is nowhere near the age of forty. Kelly played the main character of Craig in Ladies Night, his solo dance was to the music of The good the bad and the ugly theme tune and 'Macho Man'. Rob and Kelly ran from OSPA all the way to Cafe Kaos in under 1 hour. Michele, April and I would ride ahead, and rest after each of the four hills, for only a minute or two, and low and behold, the boys would have caught us up and passed us again! Michele and I both took photos for this day, mine can be seen on facebook. I stopped after crossing the bridge to get a photo of Rob and Kelly, but it was a damn stupid idea because the traffic was almost constant, and dangerously close to me.
The distance covered is 7 miles(how many km's?), mostly downhill or flat, and the hills really are babies. For those of us who are not very fit just yet, cycling them is manageable.
