walk 40:00 [3]
Walk to see a laser light Christmas show nearby which also had about 6 people in Star Wars type costumes.
Road Cycling 1:49:00 [3] 53.3 km (2:03 / km) +70m 2:02 / km
Buffalo group ride which I hadn't done for at least a year ....mainly due to the danger. I joined the 30kph average group of 10 guys - normally do the 32.
It was pretty mucky with 2 cars turning in front of us at 2 points and generally slow until we hit military rd --- then we were able to ride 2 abreast in a proper pace line. I found it pretty easy on way out to Outer Harbour but it was a touch harder on the return into a slight wind.
I haven't done any real speed work for ages.
Amazing no of groups out riding and lovely day for it.

mt bike 1:42:00 [3]
Took a Scott Spark to Anstey Hill for a test ride.
Annoyed to find that I couldn't adjust the seat down any further (it was a medium) so it was marginally too tall for me and I couldn't ride with comfort or confidence.
So just did the one climb to Range rd and mucked around on a variety of trails. The Eagle gearing is a nice feature but it does weigh more than the Epic. No smalls in SA unfortunately.
Had a chest xray for my ongoing respiratory problem - 3 months old now.

Road Cycling 4:11:00 [3] 106.0 km (2:22 / km) +980m 2:16 / km
Great ride with Michelle, David, Gerry, Liz & Steve from Dulwich to McClaren Vale and back. Nice having company and with most of it on the southern veloway it was possible to ride side by side and have a chat.
On way back we took the veloway to Lonsdale rd and then some back streets to Hallett Cove park and a climb up to the trainline. Then on Marino-Glenelg bikeway; Turtur bikeway, up thru Malvern and over towards Victoria Park.
M,D & G had stopped at Glenelg for lunch and S & L had stopped at their home in Malvern. I had parked my car somewhere in Rose park ...further up than intended due to the motorsport people having clogged up the streets.
Being in a hurry I had forgotten to note the street name...so I rode around pretty aimlessly for 10 mins peering down various streets for the red car on my return!
