i went out again today - i didnt feel the freshest (we had visitors for dinner last night) but i put on my "unmatched" knicks, jersey and wind breaker and headed out.
the conditions were the same as yesterday (we had a pretty serious storm go through this morning) but it was much more windy. I didnt quite ride the same route as yesterday (i went into the city and up the freeway before completing the shelley loop and the coming back to the narrows and then along the south perth foreshore to Burswood, Northbridge and home)
Overall i did 54km, but it took me 2:18 which was 15 mins longer than yesterday. Much of it was a bit of a slog into the wind, but i just kept plugging away.
even though it was not as pleasant as yesterday it was "good" to be out and about. I love the river and I never get tired of riding around the loop as the river is never the same. Today, in places it was shimmering silver when the sun caught it correctly, in others it was inky black (when the clouds were overhead) or in others a kind of tea colour (i guess from all the run off we have had due to the rains over the past month). while there were few people out and about there were plenty of birds of all descriptions (but no dolphins today).
there was only 1 cyclist going my way today and he past me early and i decided i couldnt be bothered trying to hang on so he probably scored reasonably well using the metrics below.
