riding today - heaven on a stick

went out for a ride this morning and it was PERFECT. the temperature was warm and there was only a zephr of wind (and it was mostly behind me today). I did a different ride this morning - riding down to the Beach where i had some breakfast before riding home.

I rode 65km (or thereabouts - my watch doesnt appear to have recorded after breakfast for some reason but i had done 51kms to get there and i estimate it was 15ish to get home). I certainly rode much better and my heart rate was much more reasonable, although it still jumped up under pressure, and recovery was better.

1535km down

Shadow of man (yep that's me) - i aim to throw even less of a shadow in the next 3 months



Indianna Teahouse (a restaurant on the beach) and Cottesloe beach (site of Heath Ledger after party and after party swim by guests). I had breakfast opposite here. The water is dead calm because we have an onshore wind (easterly) blowing.





See the pylon in the water - when i was about 6-7 i was on that when the shark alarm rang. there were a bunch of us and we had to swim back one at a time (long 50 or so metres). I would have preferred a bunch swim. You can just imagine all the mums on the beach hoping little johnie (in my case jeffery) made it back
