10 days since last ride

I havent ridden for 10 days, but i got home early today after dropping Sue off at work and didnt think i could find any reasonable excuses not to go (including the clouds and the threat of rain) so i went.

I did the Shelley Loop (backwards) and rode down the freeway and then around the South Perth foreshore back to Burswood, through Northbridge and home. The ride, 55km, took just over two hours (2:03) and surprisingly I rode on average as quick as i have for a long time. I cant explain it really. While my heart rate average was up a little, overall i rode really well even though there was a bit of a head wind in places.

Winter is just around the corner and we have had one of the wettest April's on record. Photos today are of storm clouds on the horizon - east from the Shelley bridge back up the river. I had ridden around the road (left side of photo) next to the river (this is the Shelley Loop) to get to the bridge.





I have now covered 2699km but i am well off target.
