Woke up to a howling wind from the east but remembered it wasnt summer any more. Got to orrong rd and kewdale rd before i picked up my first bludger, mr puncture. dealt with that as best i could and then set off to try and meet Tooms at udub. Was 10min late and asked if i could use his track pump to top up my front wheel, no can do its at home was the response, how about your normal pump, doh thats there too. Continued on with slightly deflated front wheel which meant corners were going to be a fraction slower. Nice ride around the river until we met up with detour at bourke dve. First traffic management person was totally ignoring traffic and was onthe phone, second traffic management person again on the phone. Tooms at this point pointedout that they were on the traffic management game app. Third guy was actualy paying attention to traffic but had headphones on. Tooms pointed out he was learning another language!! I must remember to take up a job like that when i retire early.

Rode up to the narrows before departing from tooms and headed through vic park to home.

Long - Splits

Good ride until port beach where we latched onto the broad construction group and then the pace went up a notch as each group battled to drop the other. Got down to mount henry bridge in 47min for 28km which i thought was rather quick. Casual pace up freeway path as broad constructions rode off and then smashfest along mounts bay road.
