Just wondering if there is anyone within reach of Kinuta park who enjoys a bit of competition off the bike. and has a bit of time to spare in the early mornings (7-9am) or perhaps some other time. I can do the court reservations, bring some balls to the game, and as a player am consistent and pretty good.
And I can even make this about cycling for you.
1. Tennis is good for you in ways that cycling isn't
Cycling is a non-contact sport (knock on wood) and as such cyclists can tend to lose bone density, which makes them more prone to breaks and fracture. Tennis, meanwhile, is an impact sport when played properly (i.e. hard) and can help strengthen your poor brittle bird bones. If you are someone who consciously reduces bone mineral density to achieve 1/10 seconds off your best Strava hill climbs, please move on. If not, please do not get any ideas.
2. You are now better at tennis than you thought
You may have been just okay at tennis before but after thousands of km in the saddle you are now much, much better. You are fitter, lighter and quicker, able to concentrate better for longer, and after avoiding road trash on 50+ km/hr rindo descents every Saturday/Sunday can spot even the fastest balls with hawk-like accuracy and precision.
3. You can ride your bike to the courts
Game, set and match!
