mt bike 6:02:00 [3] 92.0 km (3:56 / km) +850m 3:46 / km
From just outside Clare following Mawson trail to Burra.
I was the seemingly the only living thing in Burra - hot.
Got offered a ride back to Clare!
Longer ride back following different smaller tracks and again about 1km from car the road reserve track was fenced off for 500m, but I went across, as again no sign of life.
Bit of a boring day as little shade
kangas in this area havent learnt fence jumping 101 - many times they just jumped ahead of me to a junction / gate / brealk in stone wall. One time for 4 kms

Road Cycling 5:18:00 [3] 100.5 km (3:10 / km) +290m 3:07 / km
Finally cracked a 100km ride, albeit flat.
I was going to go do the TT ride in the hills but riding partner MC was feeling the effects of a lingering cold so I joined her on a flat local ride.
Home - city - then Bowden - Greenway route to Pt Adelaide, then an explore to find the moved "adelaide" clipper at dock 2 and we rode a new road past there. Onward for lunch at Semaphore.
MC turned for home while I hoped to do a coastal ride to Glenelg to add kms...however it was gale force winds against me, so after a slow 10km to Henley Beach I turned around and sailed back to Pt Adelaide...then home.

gym circuit / class 1:10:00 [3]
strength for life class, though instructor seemingly disappeared after warmup.
Included 20 mins on rower and 8 on bike
Bad news on 2 fronts today
firstly that young orienteer Hannah Goddard had died
secondly that White Island volcano (North Is, NZ) had opened up with quite a few people unaccounted for. I had visited there several years ago. Tourists can go on a guided tour very close to the main crater - quite spectacular.

commuter bike 2:00:00 [3] 30.0 km (4:00 / km)
Rode to and fro the OA conference at AIS in quite smoky conditions due to NSW bushfires.
To - via bikepaths & last bit on main highway to make it as speedy as poss. Back - longer way, riding O'Connor Ridge singletks to start with and then out past Throsby and back to it. Heading into easterly on way home.
Able to do this as I booked a latish 6.50pm flight, as it was the cheapest at the time.
