alum cliffs. not enough time for full length. still good though.

quite the headwind. stopped me almost completely in some parts! Stll I felt it was only fair given all the calm conditions I have had this winter.

Beautiful morning to ride in - calm enough, pink dawn, light traffic and I was comfortable in 1 layer less than last time I rode - yay!

perfect annecdote to yesterdays crappy day at work.

Nice cycle home again. yay

peter murrell. quite a nice morning.

short run aruond waterworks. felt better than last week. shoes feeling better too.

sunny run in-between rainy squalls. alum cliffs

peter murrell.

lovely morning. could have even downgraded the warm gear back to regular socks, no arms under jacket.

originally tried to get a lift home but jon refused citing 'perfect cycling conditions' whatever.

turns out it was quite nice though - no wind, mild. just dark. I'm sick of dark.

desperately slow run around waterworks. horrifyingly pathetic. not sure why so bad.

Nice commute. dry roads, not too freezing.

clear and calm, perfect if it wasn't so dark.

extremely annoying orienteering at risdon brook dam due to organisers trying to be cute and almost hiding the stupid tiny lockable controls (when they should have been using stands in the bush anyway).

So in control sites of say 'rocky ground' had to search each scubby tree in the area trying to find the one they locked the control onto anywhere from half way up it, to ground level. SO annoyed. Jon said he just found it funny. I did not - mostly cos I wanted a nice smooth run rather than a stuff-around looking for the control. I'm sure my frustrations would have been reduced if I had run the previous day. hmmph.

coldish and wet. very wet. but kinda nice!

very cold but had jon's booties over my cycling shoes so my feet were super cosy! had issues with the frost on Spew Hill but made it anyway.

Due to logistics and weather I elected to run rather than ride today - it won't hurt as I'm now in training for the tas sprint champs in August. I may have left my run a bit late but what-evs.
So waterworks.

early birthday run. then waffles.

uneventful

very happy not to experience forecast headwind. Instead it was completely calm. yay.

Ferntree, springs, usual route, then back up the pipeline to the first road to wait for denny. so normal route plus extra couple of ks.
feet felt ok althouhg I'm thinking I don't love my new shoes. might investigate some brooks.

Ok - without my wind breaker and pace setter I'm going to have to admit that it's probably taking me more like 55 minutes each way!
was surprisingly warm this morning

C • Interesting... 3

uneventful.

very sluggish run around waterworks. very frosty too. have sore-ish sole of foot

very cold ride this morning. Felt ok until after suicide bend when the cold wind froze my toes and exposed ankles. Happy it's a one-way day today.

got up and ready to ride but rain came down at 7am. so going with plan b - drive to work, ride home, ride in tomorrow..

commute home. got abused by a car who was held up for maybe 10 seconds before it overtook me on double white lines coming down bonnet hill. As it overtook it opened its car door to hurl abuse. weird. I got its plate number and said it to myself 50 zillion times coming down the hill but somehow I must have misread it as it was apparently registered to a small hyundai rather than the crappy holden sedan which it was. bugger. I'm sure i'll see it again!

commute

Peter Murell reserve - had a good run except for total chumpy mistake on the 3rd control which was so easy. I need to get my magnifiying southern hemisphere compass going.

bit of a headwind and I didn't have my windbreak with me today as she is heading to Norway. bugger.
