Tough game. Unknowingly hurt myself resulting in sore back muscles This ended in muscle spasms after I cooled down. Limited range of movement ment a tough night.

Slow on corners due to wetness of road and paths. Sand every where. Bike will need a clean this weekend. Small diversion to normal route.

First tow for a while on the latter part. I was better on the rises and climbs

Low pressure in the back tyre before I left home so I pumped it up to 100psi. Almost exactly half way to work I am almost on the rim. Pumping does not work so it is a tube change. It is only when you stop that you realise there are quite a few people who use the bike path. Replaced the tube but still no pressure. Dodgy pump? Flag down a passing cyclist but their pump is inefective. So the spare tube is stuffed as well. Left the phone at home so I cannot call for back-up. Decide to walk to the nearesat bike shop - only 3 blocks away. Replace tubes and tyre. Looks like I must have pinched the tube when I replaced it.

I collected a tail at Scarborough Beach road while I was day dreaming. He left on an alternate route at Osbourne Park and I am thinking I wont see him again. But he comes up behind me while I wait for the light change at Karrinyup road. So the alternate route was not so good. Useing the downhill of Karrinyup road I push to the max expecting him to sit there and go around when I inevitably slow down 1km later. It pleases me that when I get to the top of the hill before Read Highway I look behind and he is a long way back.

An early morning trip to the dentist followed by a hangover from the anesthetic means I missed my usual ride to work.
