GPS dead so no trace. Usual up the coast route with a deviation to Marmion AVENUE on the way back to avoid the strong onshore headwind. All the car parks are packed early and plenty of traffic so had to be cautious. Fast ride up with the wind but had to pay for it on the way back.

To and from O event in Sorento

Another rare appearance at a summer event. Slow to warm up and less than ideal route choice.

The planned ride of plus 85km finished abruptly at Welshpool when I hit the pavement when moving from the road to the bike path on the footpath. Some bark removed and no other major damage. Amazed and grateful to see two separate motorists stop to see if I needed help. I would have rode on, however it was not my day with a flat and no spare tyre. Ended up catching the train home. The highlight of the day was a chocolate muffin at the Cannington café which tasted like a fondue.

One of those days when the direction you are travelling in relation to the wind makes a big differences. Some of the climbs on the coast road were faster than the return downhill!
