Last week I didn’t do any commuting on the bike, however I did get up early each morning and rode for about 45 minutes on the trainer before going to work. I had the weekend off from riding and caught up with friends which led to eating and drink too much of all the wrong things! All I can say was it was all worth it! sometimes you just need to take some time out to enjoy yourself once in a while otherwise all this training gets a bit boring! This morning was my first commute for at least a week so I rode in from the 28km mark. It was great to see a hot air balloon floating overhead about to land in the park on the Koonung trail between Doncaster and Bulleen Rds. The balloon was so low you could see the people in the basket taking pictures. It was a quick ride this morning and I was averaging 30km/hr for the first 15km which felt pretty good. Once I got closer to the city the pace slowed down a little as I got into the hills around the Yarra blvd, then there were more pedestrians on the path and traffic started to build up on the roads. The winter solstice is past so now I’m looking forward again to the time when I don’t have to stress if I have charged up the battery on my light long enough for the ride home!
