After a long hiatus from riding on the road, I was back on the bike on a Saturday morning for my first 100km+ ride since the Sydney lockdown of 2021. As the Stereophonics sing, "Didn't know where I was going, but it felt good for a change!"
Set off and went south. This is the #StoryOfMyRide from 16 October 2021: from Sydney Park to Bald Hill lookout (near Stanwell Tops, overlooking the Sea Bridge with Wollongong – UCI Bike City – off in the distance).
In part 1, I map out the ride (eventually), talk about what I see along the way, and then explain my thoughts on wheels that I'm reviewing, the Zipp 353 NSW. 'They are meant to be good in crosswinds,' they said, and they are right. Brilliant wheels!

Great to be riding outside again. Don't be shy to give a thumbs up on this video if you like seeing me out on the bike... (or say hello / wave if I see you out there).
