Starting to shift my body clock to new territory temporarily in anticipation of a string of late-night meetings from tomorrow onwards (2am Friday being the latest of them), and with meetings almost unbroken from 4 to 9 decided to head out for a bit before that. Not quite ready to run so was out on the bike instead, discovering in the process that end-of-school-day traffic is definitely still there even if only half the students are. Spent the first half of it in one of those showers which is just heavy enough to be annoying but not heavy enough to register in any gauges (unless there is a potentially historically significant run of consecutive dry days in progress, in which case it will just tip it over for a 0.2). Reasonable ride without being anything special.

Melbourne multiculturalism at its finest: in West Heidelberg I encountered a genuine Aussie bogan ute with all the trimmings, flying a Samoan flag. There was a bit of a Pacific Islands theme to this ride because a couple of kilometres later I spotted a truck from Tonga Excavations.

Some interesting (if not surprising) data on changes in Melbourne cycling patterns over the last couple of months.
