Bilbys long ride - there were just two of us, a guy called richard who is training for ironman. We did old federal highway, shingle hill way, nanima road. We got lucky and missed the worst of the rain. We got some good speed taking turns on the front into the headwind on shingle hill road. After we caught the medium group we got a good bit of speed coming back into town down the barton highway.

A bit of a plod round the ridge, felt lethargic and it seemed to be very humid. Was dripping with sweat by the end. As I got back home could hear the dulcet tones of Dr Trewin on the radio, they must have had it on a loop as he was on when i set off as well.

Morning ride round cotter-uriarra. Made it a fairly solid effort, mt mcdonald climb was good but ran out of legs by the 3 sisters.

Long and hilly-ish run over the ridge into blackie. Did the doover crackenback then up to the summit for a drink. Was still recovering a bit from some sort of stomach bug that I had yesterday so took the direct route back down the steep track to the saddle followed by the Fish memorial track back through the ridge. The last part was a bit of a plod.

Lake swim with the bilbys, really good conditions with warm water but no big lumps of green stuff yet. The test of how clean it was will be whether I'm sick tomorrow. We had to avoid a few pedal boats which were going about the same speed as we were.

Rode over to majura and spent a while in the pines. The ground was quite soft and my skill level was low.

A trundle around the ridge and over to the edge of blackie then back along dryandra. A bit sluggish at the start but became a bit more purposeful towards the end. Saw Jules, Fel and Miss Jones as coming off the ridge as I went back along dryandra. Quite a humid evening but good to be out for a run.
