HERT cycle squad (North Shore chapter) at Centennial saw a modest turn up, with Luke and Andrew Hannan ready to roll out early on, and Steve Bridson, joining in a couple of laps later. We injected 3 x 10min tempo efforts which turned out to be pretty high intensity threshold efforts which left me struggling. Andrew was riding brilliantly, demonstrating the power he has built up through his track cycling. After 40km with those blokes I wound down with a few laps with a couple of HERT riders going for the extra aerobic training (20km in total).
