First Break, No Brake — Lincoln → Leeston podium & pints 🍻 Christchurch, Canterbury ⛅

{"raceId":16157178307,"athleteId":2188545,"name":"First Break, No Brake — Lincoln → Leeston podium \u0026 pints 🍻 Christchurch, Canterbury ⛅","description":"A Bluebird day with a few cheeky spits to keep us honest, then sunshine for Africa. About 40 of us spun out to Lincoln, scooped up another 20–30, and split into two chunky bunches. Bit of a scramble to get organised because the start was a k up the road, and we were running the two‑race strategy — the usual late starters rolled off early, so the bunches were thicc.\n\nEight marks, close to 70 riders. My mark was first break with 11 of us, and we lit it up from the gun. Legs felt mint — proper diesel with a turbo whistle — so I kept the leash short and the pace high. Head unit vibes were chaos (forgot to hit lap… first‑world problems), but the sensations were all green lights.\n\nOnto the last straight I had a wee squiz over the shoulder — no sign of the chasers. Scratch had twelve with four internationals in there, so I figured they’d mow us down like last week. Not today. We earned our air time at the front.\n\nThe young bucks launched, I kicked and latched onto Callum Dohertys wheel. He towed a brutal line; I had the pop to follow but not the sauce to roll him. Second on the line — stoked as. That’s two podiums this week, and I’m feeling properly bullish about the form.\n\nRide home? Spicy. Everyone got itchy and the pace never dipped. Rounded it out with a pint at The Lab with the mates, then Sarah Patrick , Greg Manson , and I cruised back into town. All up, a bloody good night on the bike.\n\n😅 Slightly overtrained\n🐶 Free Training (moderate intensity)\n🚵 Flat ground Ride\n🧀 Fat 54.1%, 🍞 Carb 45.9%\n🕯️ Matches 17.9\n🔋 Maximum discharge
