Bike was functional again so decided to ride to and from the sprint event at RMIT Bundoora (where I was working on the finish). Got going reasonably well on the ride after the first few kilometres.

One thing which changes as you get away from the inner city is the attitude of drivers - it's no surprise that far fewer people ride in the outer suburbs. I was on the end of three lots of horn blasts/obscene gestures/abusive language in as many minutes (the worst of them coming from a car with a Liberal campaign sticker on the back).

Coming back, via a slightly different route (trying to avoid as much of Plenty Road as I could after the earlier experience, although there are parts which are difficult to avoid without a long detour as Bundoora has no other reasonably continuous north-south streets). Net downhill but also net headwind, which roughly seemed to cancel out.

The Garmin obviously didn't think I was trying because it thinks my recovery time is 0 hours. Calf gave no trouble either on the ride or afterwards.
