Arvo loop past Brisbane Canoeing and Oxley Creek. Did the same effort as on the weekend - it's actually ~495m and not the 400m we estimated. Felt okay.

Photocopied a page out of the Brisway and went for a run in Toohey Forest. I forgot my GPS so only a rough distance, and timing from the car clock. I didn't actually expect to have run for over an hour - might do this more often. Anyway, stuck to the main tracks through the forest to try and get my bearings as I've got lost and spun around in there before. There are some very nice tracks through there, felt good too. Had a few stops to check the map.

Loop through Gap Creek and back over Mt Coot-tha. All single track is closed now so stuck all to fire trail. About a hundred other riders out so it didn't really feel like a solo ride. It's going to be a hot day.

Drove to UQ with the double ski and paddled 4kms into the tide towards Indooroopilly with Dave, and back. Nice part of the river, but we stayed out in the current to avoid any possible submerged debris. Good to be on the water again.

Rode to UQ at St Lucia to check out their canoe club pontoon. It's missing a couple of aesthetic trimmings but otherwise appears untouched - probably because it's on he inside of a long bend. Crossed the river at the bus bridge and back home.

Same loop as Sunday past the 'beached az' boat. Good run.

Morning ride to Gap Creek. Rode the fire trails on the near side as the single track in closed, then the normal loop on the far side. Back over Mt Coot-tha and down the cool windy descent.

Headed out in the afternoon with Dave and the double ski. We spent an hour driving around looking for a spot to launch from but each spot we went to was either destroyed and we couldn't get to, or we'd be at risk of disappearing in mud. I'm going on a bike mission tomorrow to scope out other options, to save driving all the way out to Bulimba where the water's not really suitable for a K1.
