cycling 2:20:00 [3]
from springs down north south then home. back was pretty sore coming down north south (normally it's ok until sandy bay/taroona) so I stopped in salamanca (which was crazy due to the ever expanding Taste) to buy and consume some nurafen. Made it home just as a southerly headwind hit so that was good.
The bottom part of north south is getting pretty dusty - it's like the formerly hard packed trails are just turning to dust and subsiding which is a bugger. Today it was so busy on the trail it was like Elizabeth street at 10am on a Sunday. Which is to say busy by north/south standards with lots of walkers, rider-upperers, rider downers and stopperers - but really not too bad considering. I got passed by a girl on the way down but as she was wearing baggy shorts, knee pads and elbow pads (i.e. downhill racing kit) I didn't mind.
