Night Riding - Segment Stealing






We must look ridiculous, my cycling partner John and I.....

we head out on the Papamoa Waterway reserves, where the toddlers ride their bikes and the residents walk their fluffy handbag dogs.  But John and I go in the dark, in our lycra, with our headlights.  And go Segment Stealing.........

We target a Strava segment, and in the blink of an eye we go from a gently chatty roll, to all out demons.  Legs screaming, gravel spinning, lungs gasping.

Two grown adults pretending to be in a race...

All for the sake of an imaginary Strava Crown.
