Life enforced rest day as I made a flying trip to Melbourne. Brunch with Dad, Mum, sister, BIL & nieces. Lunch time coffee with aunts & uncles. Several hours watching Dogs get flogged which was bad but at least I got to go to the footy. Then drop in on Nan before flying back home.

reverse classic loop with Hoggster & jo. Nice morning, didnt start too early and a very pleasant run.

Solo Tour de Pete. Shep emailed to see if anyone was up for the Pete yesterday and I wasnt sure so didnt reply but made a late decision to go. I guess noone else was up for it so I hung round at Cook shops for 5mins or so and then got going. Nice morning, 13 degrees they said which was almost unbelievable. Felt quite good and with noone to talk to just focussed on riding and felt pretty strong. Cut down Gungahlin Drive at the end rather than Horse Park as its pretty tight along their with the cars in a pack, yet alone when you are solo and a bit harder to see. Cruised by Deli Marx in case the others had done a different training but noone there so had a latte & raisin toast at Sfoglia.

We have esteemed trog-writer Liggo staying with us for a night-or-two so I joined him for a jaunt round the classic loop. Liggo being the training-machine that he is got up at 6.15 and had done 45mins before I joined him at 7. A nice morning in the sun with the classic loop at its best. Having a guest runner from interstate reminds me how good running & riding in canberra can be with so much forest and less traffic. Followed with a coffee and paper at home before heading to work.

The now entitled Skezba loop with Sebba and Kez. beautiful morning as we strolled along the lake, through Weston Ck, Chapman, Woden somewhere, O'Malley, Hughes and then into the back door of Double Shot (fortunately Hoggster's blanket ban on Double Shot obviously doesnt extend to picketing as we were able to get in). A nice morning watching the moon set and the sun rise. Some nice little pinches to keep you honest. My bike was rattling like a milk crate, not sure what was going on.

total time includes half hour for commute home at the end of the day.

commuting. I got passed by a largeish girl on a mountain bike today (hope she doesnt read my trog). she was wearing a billowing red dress and was wearing cfm boots and went past me like a bat out of hell. In my defence I had been stopped at a round-about at the bottom of a hill whereas she got to fly straight through. I did manage to pass her up the hill.

Lunch time run in the warm canberra-air. I was going to do Black Mtns but was feeling fairly jaded so decided to still do hills but along the track behind the botanic gardens. its undulating and I did several laps of the track surging the hills. Pleased I did something despite levels of tiredness and cbfness but it probably wasnt that awesome a session.

HR monitor still not back from adelaide.

Cook blob with another big turn out - stace, searlo, hoggster, nat, walders. usual aranda loop. absoloutley balmy evening with my turn to get out the lily-white legs in the shorts and tee. walders nearly went the way of that russian walker at one point, stumbling over the edge of a gutter.
