Over to Northcote. Legs dead on the hills! Looking good for the weekend :)

25' over to Yarra Bend, 15' home.

From the pipe bridge to the bats and back.

First time I've ever been in Melbourne for the grand final, Collingwood's playing, and they go and have a draw...and next week I'll be in SA :(

Fitzroy > Williamstown > Laverton North > Footscray > home.

Ok, so the Laverton North bit was an accident. And it actually took a whole lot longer.

Slog over to Northcote, up the hill and back down.

Day 4 of playing in granite.

Awesome event at Kooyoora :) Thanks Neil!

Slow and steady, from point feature to point feature (don't tell Thierry there was no simplifying...). Caught up to Bayside Kangaroo at 7 and decided to go safe to 8 but got a bit waylaid anyway. Also didn't go far enough to 14 after the map change. Otherwise good, quite happy with the run.

Saw lots of the plants I'd found up at Terricks, but didn't get too distracted.

I think this week is going to be a write-off training-wise: work Tues/Wed, assignments x 2 Wed, fieldwork Thurs/Fri. I'll have to make up for it with an epic at Kooyoora!

C • Start at 12.30 then 1

Struggled around the Juvey: my Goldilocks ride - not to long, not too short, not too hilly, not too flat. Although it almost was too hilly this morning. Forgot my knicks in Melbourne so had to wear my magic pants. Got a few funny looks from the real cyclists.

Nice day out at Kangaroo Gully. Only stopped once for some plant ID (Drosera peltata subsp. auriculata). Was a bit scrappy around the circles for quite a few controls, but the rest of the nav was ok.

Out to o and back. Put off going home to study for as long as possible: lucky an old school mate was manning the coffee van.

Ride home from field trip in Watsonia. Beautiful day for a ride :) :) :) Only to get home and find out I do have class this arvo :( :( :(

Supermarket slog. Did a lap around Northcote Plaza to make up a bit of extra time.

Don't think I started reading the map until about 8. Had a severe case of old man syndrome (no disrespect). Improved a bit after I hit my head on a tree. Enjoyed the run home after getting out of the shrubbery.

C • Did you have old man syndrome the previous week as well? 6

Went to check out the Merri. There is a fair bit of water, but it was hard to be impressed after seeing the Loddon.
