Another Saturday and another long ride to get ready for Ironman New Zealand.

Its getting hot out there and I was feeling it going up some tough hill climbs in the hills out towards the beach. The water looked pretty inviting as I was riding past and I am sure you can agree. The ride takes the scenic route out through the eastern suburbs of Auckland onto the road to the beach to Maraitai. This road has some nice hill climbs up until you hit the beach. It's easy to then travel back inland to Clevedon and then for another 15km on to the out Auckland suburb of Papakura. The country roads are undulating and today had a little bit of traffic, and when I got to Papakura at kilometer 51, it's time to turn around and then travel back home.

The tough part about this ride is the final 20km as it then takes on the same hills I did at the start of the ride. Annoying at this point in time, but when it comes to Ironman training definitely something that will help me during the race.
