Windy City

Perth is sometimes called the Windy City and today it was living up to its reputation. While it was warm - 26 ish - there was quite a strong west/SW breeze blowing when i went for my ride this afternoon.

Had the bike serviced yesterday so it was running pretty good today.

It was still a nice day to be out on the road and i clocked up 44.5km (42 and 2.5) with a stop at Cranked in Leederville for coffee and late lunch on the way home.

Did the river and shelley loop the right way around today - riding up the freeway to Mt Henry and than around the shelley loop. i think this way would have been slightly easier from a wind perspective.

Heart rate average was better today (151bpm overall) but speed average is still down (25km/h overall). this was probably not too bad given the wind and riding on my own.

It was a nice day for sailing but probably not such a nice day for spotting dolphins. The sailing photos are not bad considering i was riding at ~30km/h down the freeway when i took them. Got some interesting looks from cyclists going the other way but hey. Good camera to deal with the motion and the amateur photographer.







I have now covered 3500km this year. Wont get much riding in next week or the following as I will be heading to Melbourne for Paul and Amber's wedding.
