Cycling 2:01:59 [3] 41.5 km (2:56 / km)
am: A reprise of the ride out to Ascot from last weekend. This time it wasn't all that windy so I went down to UWA and around the river to the city. Unfortunately, I'd forgotten that the so-called 'Big Walk' was on today and I had to navigate through a fair bit of pedestrian traffic along the city foreshore (many of whom seemed oblivious to the fact that they were sharing the path with cyclists). Ran into them again at Burswood on the way home. By this time there were hordes of them and I was forced to go crosscountry a few times to get around them. It wasn't too bad here because I could go around fairly easily, but after I went past the finish area I had to ride against a stream of people finishing the shorter version of the walk. Got slowed to a crawl going across the causeway on the cyclepath and eventually took to the road as there was no way that I was going to be able go very far at a decent speed with so many clueless walkers clogging up the cycleway. Tried to push the pace into the wind along Riverside Dr and around Mounts Bay and managed to keep the average speed above 20km/h.
