Another day back in the office (these will probably get a bit more regular from here), and the first time I've done the position-myself-in-the-morning-for-evening-physio-appointment thing for a while. This opened up some new options so I decided to clear the area on the far west edge of Northcote, between St. Georges Road and Merri Creek and south of Arthurton - so lots of going back and forth, initially east and west, then north and south. Back better than it has been (though a few hip twinges at times); fairly slow, although I think possibly all the turning might have done me out of a bit of distance, and the handful of hills coming back were hard work, but on the whole a bit more positive than last week was.

This is the first time I've done a significant ride into the city since last March. There are a few more bike lanes now, although they're still prone to builders leaving stuff in them, people turning right across them, and the odd person parking in them. (On the last point it might have been tempting to ask "where are the police when you need them?" except that the most egregious offender was a police van).
